I'd like lights. Not bright lights -- just enough so that you can see if a
cat's about to jump out in front of you. Or a rabbit. I prefer not to have
roadkill (or Pathkill, I guess) on the paths. I realize some of the current
pathkill could from people going too fast during the day, but having had a few
close encounters at night when I thought I was going a reasonable speed for the
conditions, I think lighting could help.
Dark sky lighting would be optimal. And lighting that wasn't so bright that it
becomes hard to adjust to the dark. The other added bonus of path lighting is
that the flashy lights of oncoming cyclists would no longer be blinding.
Also, I don't think it's a good idea to speed down from the bridge over the
beltine at night. Yes, I know it's exhilerating and I used to do it, but as
more people started to use the path, it dawned on me that the risk for hitting
pedestrians in dark clothes was there. I would be horrified if I hit someone on
that path just because I'd wanted the buzz of going 25 mph downhill. And a
collision at 25 mph would not be pretty. If you want the buzz, ride Today
between Midvale and Glenway!
