We could certainly use better street lighting, especially in these older neighborhoods, but the city council removed $110,000 for streetlights to help fund the latest $6 million bike lane.

One very simple, smart and inexpensive action pedestrians can do to significantly increase their personal safety at night: carry a small flashlight and use it to illuminate your space & yourself whenever crossing a street in the presence of vehicle traffic. This should be a routine habit we teach our children and maybe it would become customary practice as they grow into adulthood.
