OK, didn't know that. But we still need lights that work. For public safety, we need street lights managed by an active entity, be it the town, the university, or PEPCO.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 2:59 PM, Melissa Avery <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:m.avery@rocketmail.com" target="_blank">m.avery@rocketmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>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!<br>

<div>Peggy,</div><div> </div><div>I found out some information about the lights you brought to our attention. First, and very interesting, at least part of PEPCO didn't even realize that there are lights along the bridge over the Northeast Branch. The interactive map that tracks light poles indicates there are no poles there! so clearly they were not going to get them fixed any time soon without your prompting action--Thanks for bring this to our attention.</div>
<div> </div><div>Public Works Director Addison has now gotten PEPCO working on identifying and then hopefully fixing the poles in this area. Stay tuned.....</div><div> </div><div>Vern<br><br></div><div><div>

<div><font style="background-color:transparent" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Could someone tell me when the street lights on River Road, from Kenilworth Avenue to the MD Circle are going to be turned back on? Last fall, late September or early October, when construction was started on the circle I noticed that all the street lights from Kenilworth Aveue to their construction sight were out. Don't know if they were turned off or went out. But the circle has been finished finally and there are still no lights from Kenilworth Avenue to the circle. It is very dark on that stretch of roadway at night and therefore dangerous.</font></div>
