White Rock Lake Park

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
