"There's a fair amount of knowledge/research required to provide proper safety/security lighting for an area- far more than just throwing up some poles and running wires."
As I look out my window in Houston I see security lighting placed high on equally spaced poles. It doesn't appear that a whole lot "of knowledge/research" beyond what it takes to install bright lights high on a pole and spaced every 15 meters run parallel to a roadway is necessary. BEL has done this before.

Proper lighting is part of any equation when your trying to crime free an area. I dont think Cris or anyone else believes that putting in proper lighting is going to crime safe the north end of the island alone. It will definitely will eliminate many points of ambush on the road north. Also it will allow drivers to see whats ahead of them at night to avoid dangers such as an ambush by criminals at night on the road north. This is a huge step in beginning to realistically tackle the increasing crime threat on the north island.


As Amanda says in an earlier post "lets put our true efforts against threats that can indeed ruin our collective lives." What reason agaisnt lighting the road north can possibly be more important than that?
