Stone Arch Bridge Going Dark

We were first alerted to this a few months ago by Riverfront redevelopment pioneer Peggy Lucas, who sent us a photo showing a few arches on the Stone Arch Bridge gone dark.  The lighting has deteriorated rapidly since then, to the point that most of the lighting has gone dark.

Stone Arch Bridge today:

I had submitted this concern too. Reply from city is below.
Our councilman recently said that it was necessary to get a boat under the bridge - and at that time ice was an issue. It certainly reflect better on the city if this could be repaired before summer events like northern sparks, all star game etc.

From city...
We have submitted a service request to our Public Works Department. Your reference number is 2597966. Your case should be resolved by 3/18/14.

They are on the bridge today, with a crane that lifts workers under the bridge. Fixing this perhaps? It would be a great picture to add if you can get it.
