It's too dark here. We could see a lot more outside at night with the old mercury lights, and we didn't have outage issues either. Allegedly, the lighting authotiy was going to "correct" the problem [[didn't say how) per a August 2014 article, but that doesn't look to be happening.

I'm curious to know why there was no reduction in lighting along main thoroughfares while many residential blocks have to make due with worse lighting? With the wattage of the LED lamps, did Gratiot really need to have the lamps placed so close to each other?
