I'm in love with that bridge. Oh man, I so want to see this happen!

Where are you guys hearing/reading that this will be a movable pontoon bridge? It just looks to me like the rendering got it a bit wrong and made it appear too low. Look at the bridge in that other rendering showing the overall view of the creek (with the bats). It appears to have pylons in that rendering, which would make it permanent.

If they are planning a bridge that is too low for boats, then I can't support that idea. And I'm surprised APD would allow that either since they also have a police boat that they use to patrol the river with. I also would not like or support the idea of a bridge that is movable and is only there at certain times of the day. That just seems stupid. And as kingkirbythe.... said, I would worry that a movable/mobile bridge would have maintenance issues/costs that wouldn't be maintained. I would really hate to see a pedestrian bridge that was designed, paid for and built not actually being used just sitting along the bank being an eyesore. Make it a permanent bridge or else don't disgrace us with it. Plus a movable bridge would require someone operating it.

And the lights, I like the idea. I'm usually not a fan of bridges with overhead structural features that might obstruct the view. After all, you know we'll be loving that view. But I don't mind the arches. They add something interesting to the design while not really obstructing it too much. I don't mind the design of the lights, I just don't want them being too overbearing at night so that they ruin the view of the skyline. And also the view out there on the water with the stars and the moon will be nice. I just don't want the lights being "too much". And of course they should last. I guess they would use LEDs.
