CRIME LIGHT MEETING AT WINFREY POINT
The installation of lakeside light poles has been suspended
A public meeting is called for May 22 7:30 PM at Winfrey Point
Neighbors can voice their opinions about this plan
The City will attempt to justify the lights based on “security ”
There is no justification to over-light the lakeside lots
The most common park crime is burglary of motor vehicles (BMV)
Most BMV occurs during the day – when burglars can see
Over-lighting facilitates night BMV. Burglars can’t see into a dark car
There’s no evidence of significant night crime on the lakeside
There’s no justification to light the lakeshore for “security”
Crime lights will attract people to the park after the midnight curfew
Security cameras are a more effective deterrent – day and night
Over-lighting damage the lake’s natural beauty every night
Come to the meeting on May 22 at Winfrey Point at 7:30
Please ask our Councilman to not ruin the lakeside views at night
