    not sure a street light can prevent someone from entering the roadway…i agree they may help on the sidewalk but streetlights are not the answer to pedestrians/cyclists/etc getting struck by motor vehicles

    District 2 Commissioner Doug Underhill loves to say the “Westside is the Best Side” but when over a hundred bicyclists or pedestrians are killed in his district in a year, you never hear a word from him. How many people need to die before we get streetlights in District 2?
