Re: East City Path Lights



May I respectfully dissent?  One of the pleasures of living in a small
town is the ability to occasionaly observe the sky and stars at night,
even from within the city limits. (Rant on)  One of the most disturbing
trends is people moving into the countryside, and putting up lightpoles
with sodium lights that burn all night. Or houses covered with Christmas
lights that burn all night well into the spring.  We want to
decommission hydroelectric dams while continuing to overlight our
environment at all times, even when there is no one in the vicinity to
shine the lights on.  (rant off).
