| Exterior accent Lighting and Lindbergh Beacon Restoration |

| Several lighting mock-ups for the exterior of the building were held to test the exterior lighting design in early 2001. The south lawn is also undergoing a new lighting design. Once these lighting systems are installed, both the building and south lawn will be lit and City Hall will recapture its place at night on the downtown skyline. |
