Re: “Too many bright lights in big city for councillor,” Feb. 11.
I think Coun. Elizabeth Ball should give her head a shake on dimming lights in Vancouver.
Firstly, I am a senior and have great difficulty seeing the uneven sidewalks when I walk down my street at night. Secondly, I am a woman and worry about my safety when walking alone at night on the streets of Vancouver.
I also noticed an item in your newspaper that police attributed a pedestrian’s death to darkness and wet weather.
I hope that city staff and council consider the safety concerns before dimming any lights. Perhaps for safety sake they should consider increasing the lights.
