GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - The bridges of Downtown Green Bay will be lit up again this year in remembrance of a special community member, John "Mingo" Kennedy. According to a Facebook post from the City of Green Bay Public Works, the downtown bridges will be lit in a variety of colors on Saturday night: red and purple, two of John's favorite colors, as well as yellow, for Wisconsin's Hit and Run Alert System, also blue, red and white. On January 25th, 2011, Green Bay’s sidewalks were covered with a fresh coat of snow, forcing wheelchair-bound John Kennedy to travel along the edge of the street on his way home from work.

John’s family and the Green Bay Public Works Department continue to work together to prevent similar tragedies. The bridges will be lit up on Saturday, January 25, in honor of John "Mingo" Kennedy.
