Council says neighborhood support needed before adding Cheyenne Circle streetlight
Summary
A resident's prior request for a streetlight at Cheyenne Circle and West Elkhorn was reviewed; Mayor Rok noted ordinances limit lights to commercial or multi-family zones, and council members asked for broader neighborhood backing before proceeding, citing "dark skies" concerns.
A request for a streetlight at the corner of Cheyenne Circle and West Elkhorn was raised during the Jan. 27 work session, but Mayor Rok said town ordinances currently authorize streetlights only in commercial and multi-family zones, not single-family residential areas. Numerous emails from nearby residents opposing a streetlight were noted by the mayor.
Councilman Bitter cautioned about setting a precedent for residential lights; Councilman Toolson said "dark skies" principles are becoming increasingly important and that she would need to see significant neighborhood support before considering adding a light. The council agreed not to move forward unless the resident demonstrates broader neighborhood backing.
