ABC 7 reports on Ward 3 Councilwoman Mary Cheh's proposal to dim the city's street lights. Cheh's thoughts: "It's useless and wasteful and just plain dumb. They should shine on the subject that they're shining on and they should shine downward."
Cheh needs to be realistic. I enjoy a "view of the cosmic natural beauty of the night sky" but fully well know I can only see the brightest of stars when living in the city. And calling for more environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient lighting is a positive proposal, but doing so in disregard to the safety of city residents and visitors is not the best way to do so.
