With the absolutely minimal amount of power that LED lights consume (aside from higher initial cost), why do we not light up the common structures/buildings in the city more?

Light attracts people to a place and gives it life. The new top to Gate City Bank is a great start, but why don't we persuade the owners of prominent buildings to light their structures up at nighttime. The Radisson, Black Building, Bank of the West Tower, Laskowitz High Rise, Fargo Parking Ramp, American Federal Bank, etc... all would add significantly to the nightlife of downtown if they were actually lit up. Take a look at what Minneapolis did with the new I-35 bridge. Why don't we do that for the bridges downtown? Why not add some wavey concrete structures to the I-94 bridge (like that are on the new I-35 bridge).

We should also start replacing incandescent lightbulbs and halogen lightbulbs, in our street lights and traffic signals with LED systems. They are brighter, practically last forever, and use a tiny fraction of what the old bulbs use.

Another example of nighttime lighting is for trees and shrubs. Gate City Bank is implanting lights into the sidewalks to light up the trees on their property. Why not do this with other trees downtown? Microsoft also lights up their campus at night. Drive by the Vista and Vision buildings for an nice example.

Here's some examples of lighting to get the mind flowing...
