Yes, for safety!
No, it's been fine.
I don't think any changes need to happen...Bend's a safe place, people get around just fine here.

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.

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

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