There are approximately 103,000 street lights in the Indianapolis Power and Light Company (IPL) service territory. Approximately 90,000 0f those lights are currently in service. The 13,000 lights that are no longer in service were funded by private households, rather than the public sector. Service for these lights have been discontinued because the customer that requested the lights does not want to continue to pay for the service. Of the 90,000 lights currently in service, about 37,000 are paid for by the municipalities (29,000 paid for by the city of Indianapolis). Neighborhood associations and community organizations pay for about 17,000 lights. Individuals and companies pay for the remaining 36,000 lights.

The report structure is based on various methods of identifying key metrics surrounding the placement of street lights in Marion County. The individual key informant interviews helped PPI staff design and inform focus group discussions. The interviewees suggested PPI map various demographics that may influence street light placement. The focus groups debated and came up with many additional key metrics that are critical for more street and area lights.
The report contains the following main sections:• A summary of suggestions provided by key
informants, key metrics determined by focusgroups
• Analysis of the current street and area lights need based on the key metrics
• Other consideration and recommendations formoving forward
Notes:• Although IPL serves areas outside of Marion
County (see Map 1), the needs analysis isonly performed for Marion County due to theavailability of some data only for Marion Countyand other data sets not allowing for cross countycomparisons.
• Census tracts are statistical subdivisions of acounty that are updated prior to each decennialcensus by local participants
• Limited vehicular access refers to householdswith one care or less
METRIC IDENTIFICATION PROCESSPPI interviewed approximated 12 key informants, ranging from City/County Councilors and City employees to neighborhood residents. Additionally, PPI held three public forums to gather community input on how to prioritize street light placement. These forums were held at the Wayne Township Center on March 1st, The John H. Boner Center on the Near-East side on March 2nd, and the Tube Factory near Garfield Park on March 22nd.
Each public meeting started with a brief presentation by PPI researchers that provided examples of metrics and described the meeting agenda. PPI devised a layered data collection process. Prior to conversing with others, individuals filled out a form with 5-7 key metrics of their own choice. Then each table (approximately 5 people per table) formed a consensus of the table’s top five metrics, which were then reported out to the group. Finally, the entire group voted on the five most important metrics. This allowed PPI researchers to identify need across personal, table, and group recommendations. The final part of the meeting allowed participants to bring up other street light related issues they felt were important and they wanted addressed.
REPORT STRUCTURE

KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWSCrime deterrence and pedestrian/bike safety were the two unanimous concerns of the key informants. While all informants initially focused on the general notion of crime, those that differentiated types of crime considered crimes against people slightly more important than property. There were also two basic notions regarding street lights and safety. Both focus on pedestrian safety. The first, and most common suggestion, focused on pedestrian safety. The second focused on using street lights to promote walkability/bikeability by improving perceptions of safety and comfort. The most common metric suggested by key informants was pedestrian vehicle accidents. Many of those that focused on pedestrian safety suggested using both the lack of sidewalks and pedestrian vehicle accidents in areas without sidewalks as key elements in determining exact location of lights. The second safety suggestion was to place lights at key
gathering spots including, schools, parks and trails, pocket parks, trail / street intersections, and other social gathering places.
Most of the other key informant suggestions were specific to a particular neighborhood or personal cause. These suggestions ranged from targeting specific unlit areas where people dump trash to a particular park, church, or school. As specific suggestions developed into common themes, these recommended were converted into broad metrics.
FOCUS GROUPSThe following data represents the aggregate votes of the three focus groups. As previously stated, immediately after PPI’s presentation, and prior to engaging in any group discussion, participants were asked to identify their five most important metrics. At the end of each meeting, PPI researchers collected

individual votes. The following chart represents our effort to categorize and aggregate those responses. It should be noted, during two of the three meetings PPI staff presented information and one participant brought attention to technology, cost, and the environment. This likely influenced the volume of individual votes for Green Technology.
The Group Consensus votes represent the consensus of each table. After spending 30 minutes talking through their metrics, each table then provided PPI and the rest of the room with their table’s consensus top 5. Interestingly enough, Green Technology drops from the highest voted individual category to near the bottom in the group consensus ranking. Proactive safety and reduction of crime ranked 1 and 2. If pedestrian vehicle accidents are added to thesafety category, then the separation between safety and crime, and other metrics become even more pronounced. The walkability category includes those that wanted to support existing sidewalk safety, and those that felt that areas without sidewalks needed the most light to ensure safety of pedestrians. Thus, when combined with pedestrian vehicle accidents,
traffic safety becomes a third major category. Similarly, if we combine economic development and placemaking, and each was directed towards supporting physical investment, the result becomes a fourth major category.
The last half hour of each public meeting allowed the entire group to prioritize the metrics that had been reported from each table. The first step in the process was for each table to report their five prioritized metrics in detail. After all metrics were identified, PPI facilitators combined similar metrics, with permission from the group. Before concluding the meeting, participants voted for their top three metrics.
The first two categories: crime and general proactive safety each had over twice the composite vote score of the remaining categories, and are weighted as such in the final analysis. The collective definition of crime included crimes against people and property, with a strong desire to use lighting to make both people and neighborhoods safer. The participants clearly recommended using crime rates as the primary metric for street light location.

The second highest ranked category was general or proactive safety. The two most important elements within the safety category were the intention to use street lights to reduce the volume of vehicle/pedestrian or bicyclist accidents, and to use street lights to make areas where citizens gathered safer. Participants especially focused on dusk to dawn pedestrian vehicle accidents, and the majority felt that accidents in areas without sidewalks were a critical priority. Among the public places that participants wished to see proactively protected by light are schools, parks (including pocket parks), trails, neighborhood commercial corridors, family and youth destinations (including playgrounds and sport fields), churches, libraries, and bus stops.
Place-based metrics were the final high priority, and included interventions that focus on specific amenities, populations, or places. In addition, while many of these amenities and places were included in the proactive safety category, new elements emerged, including areas with high concentrations of people with disabilities, and census tracts with limited vehicular access.
Street lighting is intrinsically a public issue and has been for most of its history, and often, the primary focus has been on crime reduction and improved pedestrian and traffic safety.1 This is consistentwith the key informant interviews and focus group findings that recommend crime as the priority when considering placement of street lights. It was not until the 1970s that street lighting emerged as an area of academic and policy research, to better understand the impact of street lighting and whether historic assumptions were correlated.
A study conducted in various parts of the US and UK found, interestingly, that the reduction in crime associated with new street lights occurred during daytime as well as the night. This study suggested that some of the reduction might have been due to an increase in community pride, or systematic community change that came with the light installation rather than the illumination.2 Anotherinteresting result of the study is that improved street lighting decreased crime in the immediate area as well in its adjacent areas. Furthermore, improvement of area lighting found an increase in pedestrian traffic. This potentially is due to people feeling safer walking in well-lit areas.3
Contradictory to these findings, several cities that have had opposite outcomes with street lighting and some found no real changes. Various studies suggest
that additional street lights may enable criminals dependent upon the area.4 These contradictionsshow that although lighting can have a positive impact on both perception and reality, it works best when part of a well – conceived plan, and it must not be viewed as a cure-all.
Most street light related analytical efforts have retroactively tried to determine why street lights were placed in their current location rather than a proactive guide for potential locations. Researchers in Houston attempted to use historic metrics to gain insight for past street light placement, with the hope to understand how it may affect future placement.5
There was no literature and web based evidence of a proactive metric based model, though some cities may have developed such internally.
Furthermore, literature does not lead to a consensus conclusion regarding street and area light location

and impact. This led PPI researchers to use a public outreach data-driven integrated approach to developing a street light need map. The key informants and focus groups recommended variables (confirmed by literature) that are used in the modeling analysis. The following explains how the analysis was undertaken in a set of fixed tables and maps, with one component being an interactive map that accompanies this report.
Based on the key informant and focus group input, top five metrics were determined. From the identified variables, groups assigned a priority value (1=high priority, 2, or 3) to each. Some groups identified violent crime as high priority and other identified it as mid (2) to low (3) priority. To determine the top
five, variables were weighted based on frequency and rank of priority.
Formula: weighted score for metric X = ((frequency*(3) + frequency *(2) + frequency*1))/3
In this formula, frequency of votes for high priority is multiplied by 3.
METRIC WEIGHTED SCORE
Violent Crime 13.00
Property crime 9.67
Pedestrian Vehicle Accidents 7.00
Population with Disabilities 3.67
Limited Vehicular Access 2.33

The following emerged as the top five metrics to take into consideration to clearly identify areas with highest perceived need for street lights:
1. Violent crime2. Property crime3. Pedestrian vehicle accidents4. Population with disabilities5. Limited vehicular access
After determining the weighted score for each of the five metrics, each metric is ranked by census tracts (n=224). The census tracts with the highest violent crime per 1,000 people ranks 224. Ranking of each metric is multiplied by the weighted score, and all five metrics are added to create a single value of need, which is then ranked from highest to lowest. Each census tracts is ranked 1 to 224. 1 indicates census tract with the highest perceived need for additional street lights, and rank 224 indicates the lowest need (see Map 2).
Weighted score of all five metrics= ((rank of violent crime per 1,000 people *13) + (rank of property crime per 1,000 people * 9.67) + (rank of pedestrian vehicle accidents * 7) + (rank of population with disabilities * 3.67) + (rank of limited vehicular access*2.33))
Additionally, the weighted score of all five metrics is divided into statistically valid quadrants to create clusters of need known as “zones.” Zone 1 includes census tracts ranking 1 through 56, which is the highest perceived need zone for additional street lights. Zone 2 includes areas ranking 56 through 113, representing moderate need. Zone 3 is composed of ranks from 114 to 168, where additional street light need is mild. Lastly, the remainder of Marion County in part of zone 4, where the perceived need is the lowest.6
The public also heavily emphasized need to invest in lighting to support various amenities when con-sidering street and area light placement. Participants felt that parks need street lights to support evening activity and deter crime activities. Commercial corridors require sufficient lighting due to the high volume of activity of bicyclists and pedestrians to enhance safety. Therefore, those areas can continue being the nodes of entertainment. Participants also felt that libraries and churches should be lit appropriately, so people feel safe at odd hours walking alone to and from their car.
The final recommendation on location of street lights should take into consideration both the need score and the ability to support the amenities suggested by key informants and group participants. The following series of maps can be used in conjunction with need score to determine final placement.
The place/amenity overlays (see Map 3 to 8) include:• Parks• Bike lanes and trails• Commercial corridors• Pedestrian volume/walkability• Absence of sidewalks• Libraries and Religious Facilities
All this overlapping data can be considered visually by using the interactive street light placement analysis prepared by PPI analysts.
INTERACTIVE TOOL GUIDE The interactive map provides a comprehensive platform to assist in determining street light locations. The tool has the ability to zoom into any geographical area, and immediately see the overlap of zones and ranking, current street light locations, other amenities suggested for lighting and areas of risk (no sidewalks). Among the included amenity layers are pedestrian network, bike lanes, and places of worship, schools, parks, libraries, and commercial corridors. This interface allows users to zoom into the area of interest, and evaluate where one ranks as well as underlying amenities influencing the need.
When using the interactive mapping tool:• First, consider rank based on public input. Each
census tract in Marion County is ranked from1 to 224, with 1 representing the areas with thehighest perceived need for additional streetlights according to metrics prioritized by publicinput. These rankings were quartered into zones:Zone 1 consists censuses tracts with the highestperceived need. Zone 4 has the lowest perceivedneed. In order to understand which census tractshave the highest perceived street light need, oneshould focus attention on tracts within zone 1.
• Next, consider the additional public amenitiesthat are identifiable on the map. Public inputsuggests that public amenities, such as parksand sidewalks, should be prioritized with regardto exact location of new street lights. If one isconsidering the placement of street lights withina census tract with high perceived need, one6 See Map 2

should locate the public amenities in that census tract to prioritize exact location.
• Finally, consider density (see Appendix II). Acensus tract with low street light density does not necessarily equate a census tract with high perceived need. This means that the metrics the public perceives to be good indicators of ideal street lights placement do not necessarily point us to census tracts with a relatively low density of street lights. The City should consider public demand in placing street lights, but also understand that street lights do not necessarily make an area safer (see Appendix III). The City should view current street light density, and consider weighing the pros and cons between placing street lights in areas with low street light density, and placing street lights in areas with high street light density, but that are prioritized by the public.
There was no public consensus regarding whether to concentrate or widely disperse lights. Table 1 displays the average of all working street lights per sq mile, and street lights per sq mile funded by the City of Indianapolis by zone. Specifically, the street
light conundrum, represented by uncertain research findings, is highlighted in zone 1, which has the highest rate of violent and property crime, pedestrian vehicle accidents, and persons with disabilities. To put the demand in perspective, the average rate of violent crime per 1,000 people in Marion County is 15.5, and property crime rate per 1,000 people is 52.2. Both the violent and property crime rate is lower in Marion County than zone 1. On average, zone 1 census tracts have the highest of amount of pedestrian vehicle accidents per sq mile relative to areas making up zone 2,3, and 4 and unsurprisingly, limited vehicular access, indicating high volume of pedestrians. Yet, the current volume of street lights per sq mile in zone 1 is the highest.
This suggests that the current distribution of street lights seem to match well with current demand. Yet, the same tables illustrate uncertainty regarding the impact of street lights. The areas with the greatest density of street lights also have the highest density of crime. To date, the greater density of lights has not affected the crime rate, which suggested need for additional street light density in zone 1. One possible approach to allocating street lights would be

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS & CONCERNSThe key informants and focus group meeting participants consistently expressed concern over two issues that require us to bring them to the attention of policy makers. Both issues revolve around the realization that not all street lights are the same. The first issue is one of cost, and the relationship between bulb efficiency, design quality, and cost. Opinions on how the cost issue should be resolved varied widely. PPI suggests that based on the passion at public input sessions it be addressed transparently. The Project for Public Spaces and other organizations have written about the relationship between type of light, spacing, and design of pole, and the collective impact of place and safety.7 A few of the most basic rules are height, design, and type of street light can all vary and be adjusted related to different purposes and desired and outcomes. Taller poles can be better for parking lots and city streets. Shorter poles have a larger impact on sidewalks, but must be located closely together to have the same impact on streets.8 Along with this variation in height, brightness and bulb type must be adjusted to optimize lighting for drivers. LED is highly stressed as the most efficient lighting.
The second issue was light pollution, and using intentional design to direct light downward to both maximize its positive impact in the neighborhoods, and minimize its negative impact in the sky above. One source that addresses the issue of light pollution is the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Astronomical Observatory.9 They indicate good outdoor lighting should do 5 things: optimize visibility at night for what we want lit, minimize energy consumption, minimize impact on the environment and ourselves, minimize glare, and minimize light trespass.10
Street lights are becoming a topic of discussion in a possible modernization of cities across the globe, especially “smart cities.” Street lights are used to collect hyperlocal data by loading hidden sensors. Street lights are beginning to be used to measure air quality, light intensity, sound volume, heat, precipitation, and wind as well as count the people going by with the intention of understanding citiesbetter.9 This technology also has the capacity for collecting more information on energy efficiency, movement detection, and air pollution detection.10
Intelligent LED street lights can broadcast and record sounds as needed.11 Street light poles could potentially be equipped with Wi-Fi routers. Eventually, there will be technology that allows street lights to track the number of people waiting at a bus stop, allowing the City to send buses when the demand is there.12 Thus, it is evident that street lights present the opportunity for much more than lighting. The emergence of new technologies, such as the internet of things, present opportunities to leverage this urban infrastructure for the co-location of next generation telecommunication devices, sensors that provide valuable real-time feedback on environmental conditions, and other emerging technologies that will be integral parts of the urban infrastructure landscape in the years to come.
Currently, residents report lights that are out on their street, without knowing whether they are private security lights or municipality funded street light. This creates frustration towards IPL, which can be avoided by providing an online system where residents can check the status of the light before sending in complaints. The public interface of the interactive tool may provide the most value to public, the City of Indianapolis, and IPL when public can access the locations of lights, in service, out of service, and private security lights that are no longer in service.

In 1880, Wabash, Indiana became the first electrically lit city in the world when they lit up the court house grounds (Robert, 1967). Since then, citizens and businesses have embraced the feelings of safety, comfort, and convenience that lighting conveys. Because of perception, the location of street lights matter, as that location determines how safe people feel and how welcoming a place appears. Yet appearance and reality are not always the same. Leading to the question, do street lights measurably increase safety and do they support investment?
Have you ever stopped to wonder about why street lights are where they are? In addition, who gets to decide where new street lights might be located. The following review of prior studies seeks to provide answers to these fundamental questions while informing the development of the Indianapolis street lights placement analysis IU Public Policy Institute has prepared.
IMPACT ON CRIME & SAFETYStreet lighting is noted to be essentially a public issue. The primary focus of street lighting has been on crime reduction and improved pedestrian and traffic safety, but it was not until the 1970s that street lighting matured as an area of academic and policy research (Farrington & Welsh, 2002). Since then, throughout the United States and the United Kingdom research has been conducted to better understand the impact of street lighting and whether historic assumptions were true. One study found that most willingness to pay for lighting was derived from the assumption that street lighting would alleviate safety concerns (Willis, Powe, & Garrod, 2005). This study also analyzed the different concerns between rural and urban areas. For urban areas, the study found that safety and crime were the primary issue of focus. A study from 2002 with data from the US and UK focused on identifying reductions in crime associated with street lighting (Farrington & Welsh). A reduction in crime was found and, interestingly, the reduction in crime associated with new street lights occurred during daytime as well as during the night when the lights would be impactful. This suggested that some of
the reduction may have been due to an increase in community pride or systematic community change that came with light instillation rather than solely the illumination.
Overall, street lighting has been found to be a cost-effective asset that can be a useful part of crime reduction programs (Farrington & Welsh). One study out of the University of Cambridge found that improved street lighting led to a decrease in crime not only in the experimental area but also in adjacent areas (Painter & Farrington, 1999). The study also found an increase in pedestrian traffic in the newly lit experimental area. At the Federal level, the Department of Justice and the Office of Justice programs sponsors websites that describe the positive impact that improved street lighting have on some forms of crimes, such as property crimes or other lower level offenses.
Darkness is less safe for pedestrians and drivers. Twenty-five percent less travel occurs at night compared with daytime yet more than 50 percent of all fatal crashes occur at night (Gibbons, Meyer, Terry, Bhagavathula, Lewis, Flanagan, & Connell, 2015). While effectiveness of lighting can vary greatly across several variables such as roadway surface, lighting design, and type of light (Moreno, Avendaño-Alejo, Saucedo-a, & Bugarin, 2014). The Federal Highway Administration has produced a lighting handbook in collaboration with other large-scale transportation organizations. Although focused largely on highways, the handbook does analyze the purpose for lighting as well as federal guidance regarding roadway lighting (Lutkevich, McLean, & Cheung, 2012). One key statistic from the handbook says nighttime fatal crashes are reduced by up to 60% with the use of roadway lighting.
Finally, while we have generalized about the most common conclusions regarding street light studies, there are still many contradictory studies. One study compares several cities that have had opposite outcomes with lighting or no real changes and suggests that street lights may enable criminals in some ways (Riggs, 2014).These contradictions show

that although lighting can have a positive impact on both perception and reality, it works best when part of a well –conceived plan, and it must not be viewed as a cure-all.
Street lights can also support investment and contribute to place making. The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is an organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities (Project for Public Spaces, 2009). PPS has found lighting important, as it can increase safety, help in geographic orientation, as well as highlight the identity or history of an area. PPS also recommends creative ways to use lighting, suggesting there is a correct amount of lights, and how the lights should be spaced. These issues are beyond the scope of the heat map, but are an important part of a well-conceived street light plan (more detail is available at www.pps.org).
OTHER RELATED PLACEMENT SURVEYSCity specific street light data inventories are rare. Many cities boast about the number and type of street lights they had, but rarely provide any useful associated information such as street lights per mile of road, or other means of normalizing volume across places. Even rarer were surveys or decision-making tools that allowed for citizens and municipalities to make highly informed decisions for street light placement.
One study, from Rice University, focused on the Houston, Texas area and tried to retrospectively determine why street lights were placed where they were (O’Connell, 2017). This study attempted to use historic information and variables to better understand the “why” of street light placement and how these variables may affect future placement. The report used data by census block groups to be as accurate as possible. Within these block groups; the number of street lights was divided by the miles of roads within the group.
American Community Survey data was used for social and economic variables of interest. The regression developed could be used to understand if an area had above or below the expected number of lights per mile. It could not be used to determine if the number of lights, high or low, was appropriate, or should be adjusted. Some findings included what races were the most represented in the block groups with the highest rate of lights. Perhaps the most noteworthy finding was that a higher median
income was associated with an increase in street lights when also linked to a higher percentage of households below the poverty threshold. This would indicate that block groups with a higher disparity in household economic outcomes would also be the block groups with the highest rate of street lights (O’Connell).
Other studies related to street lights largely focus on the appropriate light and light poles for the need. New work mainly focuses on the importance of LED lights and the large savings in energy cost after a higher initial investment cost (Kimber, Roberts, Logan, & Lambert, 2015).
PETITION PROCESSESThe petition process to install new lights varies across the nation. In Fort Wayne, Indiana they have several types of petitions (City of Fort Wayne, 2017). Most types are 100% paid for by the City with one option splitting the cost with the real property affected 40%/60%. Petitions require that 60% of the owners of impacted property footage sign the petition before they are considered. The City also has a process to handle cost sharing of lights installed for the benefit of an entire neighborhood. Minneapolis, Minnesota also has a street light location process (Minneapolis Public Works, 2009). Street lighting is considered during street reconstruction processes, but it is also possible to go through a two-phase petition process. This process starts with contacting the City, which then produces a petition. Residents and property owners are then able to collect signatures and submit.
Minneapolis requires 35% of owners affected to have signed the petition in favor of lighting. Phase two starts with the City mailing information to all taxpayers affected with information about the project’s boundaries, estimated total cost, Uniform Street Lighting Assessment Rate, and information about the remainder of the process. This requires 70% of the property owner’s approval before the project will begin14. Minneapolis offers 5 different types of light design while also addressing that performance is impacted by light levels, light uniformity, and glare. Charlotte, North Carolina has much the same petition process although a phone call to their CharMeck Call Center is needed to start the process (Charlotte Department of Transportation). Los Angeles, California carries out a 2-step process much like Minneapolis (City of Los Angeles). One newsworthy case in Los Angeles

Itook several years to complete and costs residents thousands of dollars to install lights throughout a neighborhood, but this seemed worth it according to the residents who reported break-ins and prostitution when the streets were dark (CBS Los Angeles, 2014).
FUTURE OF STREET LIGHTS Street light design is a field with a surprising amount of depth. Height, design, and type of street light can all vary for different uses and impact impressions and outcomes. Taller poles can be better for parking lots and city streets. Shorter poles have a larger impact on sidewalks, but must be located more closely together to have the same impact on streets. Along with this variation in height, brightness and type must be adjusted to optimize lighting for drivers. LED are highly stressed as the most efficient lighting. Many sites, including Project for Public Spaces, get into other design elements that can be considered such as light spacing and sidewalk placement (Project for Public Spaces).Street lights have also been a topic of discussion in a possible modernization of cities across the globe. Chicago has collected hyperlocal data using street lights to better understand how cities are used (Newman, 2014). Some of this data could include air pollution and number of pedestrians walking by the light. Similar technology has been used in Glasgow, Scotland (Glasgow City Council, 2017). This technology allows for more information on energy efficiency, manual brightening, movement detection, and air pollution detection. According to a Boston Globe article, there are an estimated 26 million street lights in the United States (Smalley, 2012). This creates a large energy and maintenance cost for taxpayers. As mentioned previously, this network has started to swing toward LEDs to help lower these cost and improve flexibility. One such article discusses the intelligence that could be imbedded in street lights (Daily Mail, 2013). Las Vegas is installing intelligent LED lights that can broadcast and record sounds as needed. Other lights have been manufactured that can help alert drivers to open parking space, monitor pollution, and post information for consumers for local retail outlets (Peters, 2015).
Naturally with this much information being recorded there are privacy issues. The largest issue being what data exactly is recorded and who owns the data. Chattanooga, Tennessee has also started
implementing similar technologies (Badger, 2013). Lights have been installed in and around Coolidge Park that are aimed at mitigating gang activity. It also has had the unintended benefit of allowing a frisbee league to operate at 11PM in the park. Some light polls could potentially be equipped with WiFi routers moving forward. General Electric (GE) has also been developing technology that can track the number of people waiting at a bus stop (Peters). This could allow the city to send another bus when the demand was there. Traffic and parking information can be potentially be recorded and sent to a car’s navigation system in real time. Detroit, Michigan is one example of a city that has made this high initial investment for future payoffs (Reindl, 2015). Lights are being installed, repaired, and updated, to drive potential safety benefits and to show the investment the City was making investment in the future of neighborhoods that were previously dark and felt forgotten about. The Department of Energy also has many resources available when it comes to lighting. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy even have a page fully devoted to Solid-State Lighting (LEDs) and their importance.
Light pollution is another topic that should be addressed proactively. One source that addresses the issue of light pollution is the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Astronomical Observatory. They say good outdoor lighting should do five things: optimize visibility at night for what we want lit, minimize energy consumption, minimize impact on the environment and ourselves, minimize glare, and minimize light trespass. Many of these are direct issues to consider when deciding what type of light and how many lights to have for street lighting. FAU also address many of the economic costs associated with wasteful lighting.
