Preferred Landscape and Lighting chosen by city of San Antonio for holiday LED lighting project

The San Antonio City Council unanimously approved the proposal to switch to LED lights along the River Walk this holiday season and hire Preferred Landscape and Lighting to execute the plan.

"Its about enhancing the No. 1 tourist attraction in the state," said deputy city manager A.J. Rodriguez, adding that the plan received no opposition at the meeting.

In short, the plan calls for replacing 85,000 incandescent multicolored lights typically used on the  River Walk during the holidays with 1.76 million LED lights.   The LEDs would wrap around tree trunks, instead of hanging from branches, and 19 downtown bridges would be illuminated as well.

Preferred collaborated on the project with local artist Bill FitzGibbons on designing, supervising and programming the LED Light, River Walk proposal.
