I'm for this if they are designed to limit their light pollution and just light what they need to. No need for excess

In some neighborhoods, most definitely! Dark neighborhoods are havens for crime. Light dissuades crime.

I see lots of comments on nextdoor about car prowling, break-ins and vandalism. There are over 200 homes in our development and not one single street light! I keep all my outdoor lights on all night.

Studies show that increased light does not increase safety. Just wasting energy, disrupting birds, people's ability to sleep, and pollutes the night sky.

Especially along 97, where there are curves, and at exits or entrances to the parkway.

There are definitely streets or stretches of that could be better lit up. I walk frequently and it would make me more comfortable.

I support dark sky compliance. Light pollutes the night sky making it hard for migrating birds, observing the stars, and sleeping! Studies show that light does not increase safety.

I'm encouraged that the City of Bend is replacing lamps with LED lamps that will use less power, emit less heat, and are dark sky compliant by pointing down, not out or up, preserving the night sky.

It’s fine the way it is. We are not a huge city. We have made it the past 30 years I have been here.

Yes, but it's grown significantly. I see lots of comments on Nextdoor about car prowling, break-ins and vandalism. More street lights may help minimize this. We do not have a single street light.

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.
