^ The Lion's Gate Bridge was built by Guinness in about a year and a half back in the 30's. Cost was $101.8 million (in 2018 dollars). Guinness later sold the bridge to the Province in 1955. The lights were installed for Expo 86 as a gift from the Guinness family.

Yes there will be a Pokemon Go gym on the bridge and whichever team holds the gym will be the colour of the bridge (so red, blue and yellow). Good thing the yellow team sucks because that will be one ugly bridge.

From across the harbour, that blue colour is pretty intense...bordering on garish. This is only a test? Might they decide to use bulbs that aren't quite so bright? Are they welcoming feedback?
Don't be so sure.

Seriously though, there hasn't been a lighting display of any kind anywhere in the world in the last ~20 years that couldn't have been improved by dialing the brightness down by at least a third.

Have they ever welcomed feedback?

What? You mean use RGB LEDs? That would have been an upgrade. 
I've never seen them test anything other than blue so I'd guess it's a fixed color.

E&N bridge path paving...
This combined with the recent work on the bridge's railings has me hopeful this path will open for use when the new bridge opens at the end of the month.

It’s the very end of the railway track.
