From the article, "Mayor Dave Bing said in August that under the new authority, the number of working streetlights would go from about 35,000 currently to about 45,000 in about five years."

That is unacceptably slow. It averages to 5.48 lights coming on per day. If you factor in a 48 week/5 day a week schedule it is still only averages 8.33 lights per day. When the bonds are approved why the hell should it take 5 years to get these up and running.

It's akin to telling a starving person you'll have dinner ready for them in two weeks, long after they are dead.

Pathetic.
