project Summary:

This unique award-winning installation of white tree lights is a one-block-long public plaza and pedestrian pathway in the heart of Bakery Square in Pittsburgh, known as Sally’s Path, a tribute to Sally Perelman Lehman, the mother of Walnut Capital founder Gregg Perelman. Clista Electric installed 16 color changing illuminating trees made in Italy, state-of-the-art controls for multiple lighting effects options, and LED color changing light strips to illuminate a safe inspirational space. The path offers a pedestrian pathway amongst high-rise office buildings which are frequented by office workers, residents, and visitors.

Greatest Challenges/Notables:

  • Multiple shipping delays during the Covid 19 pandemic
  • Intense, detailed coordination among the in-ground lights, custom paves, and hydronic snow-melt system
  • 2022 Award for Excellence Lighting Artistry from Electric League of Western PA
