During a recent government meeting, concerns regarding inadequate street lighting in specific areas of the town were raised by a local representative. The discussion highlighted the lack of street lights in Districts 1 and 2, particularly around Anna Street, Ninth Street, and 8th Street, where only a few dim, outdated lights are present. The representative emphasized the safety risks posed by these dark areas, especially following the removal of lights near the Douglas Center.

The representative also pointed out a long-standing issue regarding a promised street light on Evelyn Street, which has not been installed despite assurances over the past four years. The urgency for action was stressed, with a call for immediate attention to these lighting issues to enhance safety and visibility in the community.

In addition to the lighting concerns, the representative suggested implementing a dress code for city personnel, advocating for a more professional appearance to better represent the city of Live Oak. The meeting underscored the need for prompt action on these community issues, reflecting ongoing frustrations with unfulfilled promises and the overall maintenance of public safety and professionalism within the city.
