[RP TownTalk] (no subject)

[Dwight Holmes]

While we're on the subject of street lighting in this area - there are no
lights whatsoever on the last block of Lafayette (north of Field of Dreams)
or on the "street-that-looks-like-a-parking-lot" that connects Lafayette to
Rivertech Ct (aka "Riverdale Park's Best Kept Secret").  I assume that's
because of the odd history of the ERCO Bldg, the University taking it over,
and all of that - but it still does pose a safety risk to people, esp
bikers and pedestrians using the area at night.  Is there anything the town
could do that would result in lights being installed?  Thanks!
