The Don Valley Rainbow looks interesting.
However, it needs rainbow LED lighting during the night.

I don't know how well that would work given how bright that area is from the highway lights. It would show up better on the ravine side. I would like to see the inside of the tunnel lit, however. I don't see that happening though because that area is dead at night and it's in Denzil's ward; i.e. that would be a wasteful expense.The Don Valley Rainbow looks interesting.

Oh no. The "blind corners on both sides" tunnel? Never had a collision there but always felt like I was going to. That tunnel is just plain unsafe.
A brand new local example is the BlueGold Variations colored LED lighting retrofit of the local Windsmere underpass.

I believe the thinking was, blue lighting would make it difficult for those injecting drugs. Obviously this was for areas where this was a problem to begin with.Blue was such an unusual LED color until just barely more than ten years ago. And it was essentially nonexistent twenty years ago.
Now it's an overused LED color in cheaply-made gadgets, and very widespread in simple colored (static) LED lighting, so we're getting tired of blue (yawn) and it's gaining some tackiness as a result.
IMHO RGB or bust!

I do recall reading research that showed that for unknown reasons blue lighting dramatically reduces crime rates, which is why they'd be ideal in underpasses.
