Committee discusses solar benches, charging ports and park lighting concerns
Summary
Members discussed solar benches with built-in charging ports, vendor pricing options, and whether advertising screens would be appropriate; speakers also noted parts of the park are perceived as "too dark."
Committee members reviewed options for solar benches that include built-in charging ports and considered matching bench colors and styles to existing park furnishings. A participant explained product sourcing and pricing options from Amazon and a business account; the transcript records the group noting they could match colors and that converted kits would include the same features.
Safety and visibility in the park were raised as practical considerations. "They're saying that park is too dark," the Chair observed as the group discussed bench placement and advertising opportunities on corner locations. The committee weighed whether installing solar benches and advertising would affect other park uses and concluded the benches would not negatively affect the basketball court area.
