Lighting cutback proposed in city street lighting policy
City officials consider a 50 percent cut in street lighting energy under a tentative plan approved by the City Council. A resolution requested by Councilman Bob Jeambey will appear on the next agenda, with LES given 30 days to set new arterial street standards and advocates hopeful for ornamental designs that save energy. Public safety and traffic officials say reduced lighting on arterials can proceed without increasing crime or traffic problems. A planned night field trip aims to compare lighting standards citywide. Proponents of a moratorium faced strong opposition from the Home Builders Association of Lincoln, warning of major construction delays and chaos if enacted.
