As I can see from my balcony, with this particular type of light fixture the light is aimed effectively to serve its purpose instead of spreading light into the sky (light pollution). The light source is fully shielded or cut-off so that no light escapes above the horizontal. In this way, instead of projecting it upwards, it is directed downwards. Nice to see this type finally being installed !

Agreed; though the visual form/colour of both the fixture and pole could be a good deal more elegant.

The light temperature on the bridges feels really nice too. It's not just that horrible orange gas colour or the super bright white. I'm almost like someone is paying attention to all the details this time around.

If anyone has seen the Cherry St. North bridges and / or the Commissioners bridge this evening, you must have noticed how brightly illuminated they are ! Shown is the western Cherry North bridge (the Commisioners bridge is quite obscured by mountains of dirt from my viewpoint). As well a crosswalk was installed today between the bridge and Lakeshore Blvd East (shown in the photos). If this is final adjustment of the bridge lighting ... whoah, quite intense !

Is there a plan for a walkway on the north an south side of the Cherry bridge? In globalexpress's photo above you can see the tactile strips meant for crossings on the north and south side of the transit bridge on the left (east) side.

I think not. If they were having sidewalks on both sides of the bridge they would both be there already.
 
Some western viewpoints…

Such a great detail that's overlooked way too much, thanks for that observation.
