Residents Raise Street‑lighting Complaints, Cite Vandalism and Weak Illumination in Neighborhood
Summary
Residents said lights in the Rocky Mountain neighborhood are dim or damaged and asked the council to replace fixtures; speakers noted new LED designs may be harder to vandalize but questioned durability and replacement processes.
Residents raised safety concerns over dim or damaged street lights in the Rocky Mountain neighborhood and asked the council to consider replacing fixtures.
“I've had, I've had, I've had I missed no complaints, but I've had the lights. The how dark he lives in Rocky Mountain neighborhood thought up to be twice as weak,” said Resident (trail advocate), describing spots where sidewalks and streets are poorly lit and residents are reluctant to walk at night.
Commenters discussed whether past vandalism contributed to outages and whether newer LED fixtures would be more resilient. “I don't I don't know, but I think the the the new LED lights are more difficult to you can't just touch, like, 1 bulb. 1 bulb is it can be shattered and and a lot. I think then all the dyes the rest of the dyes that wouldn't be impacted would still be active,” the speaker said, adding that the city had discussed upgrades in prior meetings and would meet again on the issue.
No vote or capital appropriation was recorded in the transcript; residents asked staff to follow up on replacement options, vandalism‑resistant fixtures and scheduling for repairs or upgrades.
