Resident asks Edmonston to dim or turn off new streetlights at night
Summary
A 47th Avenue resident asked the Town of Edmonston to turn off or dim recently installed streetlights late at night because they are disruptive and may affect wildlife; the council said it is sympathetic and will consider the concern.
Meredith Massey, a 47th Avenue resident, asked the Town of Edmonston to turn off or dim newly installed streetlights at certain hours because the illumination is disruptive late into the night and she is concerned about local wildlife.
The request was raised during the Town Council work session on July 1. Mayor Tracy R. Gant and council members present said they were sympathetic to Massey’s concerns and expressed hope she would acclimate to the new lighting.
The council did not record any decision at the work session; members discussed the concern as part of routine business and indicated they would consider the request further if additional information or formal action is brought forward. The council's remarks did not include a timetable or a staff assignment to change the lights.
