Street Lights would make our development safer ...

This is a statment that I have heard from numerous neighbors. Some might say it another way: The stars are especially bright in La Quinta because of the city’s limited use of street lights, so enjoy looking up at a clear view of hard-to-find constellations. My thoughts are that criminals are going to find a way to complete their nefarious acts whether we have street lights or not. We still must protect ourselves. When you speak to the City's finest, they say that motion-sensored lighting is the best avenue. for safety and security. If the light is not on, there is noone there; however, if the light is on you may want to check what made it come on ... There are other thoughts that a modicum of solar lighting, such as in our little park, would be nice; and a nice alternative to not having to rip up the streets to install lighting. The cost factor is at the center of this dicussion, of course. Your comments will be most welcome ... Desert Pride Neighborhood Watch
