Are these anti-lights on the bike path people also proposing getting rid of all lights on streets? My bedroom faces the street and a streetlight shines in the window. So I put blinds up to keep the light out when I'm sleeping. Why can't these people do the same? I also noticed when I rode through there yesterday that the person with the large NO LIGHTS sign's house is nowhere near the bike path (my bedroom is at least five times closer to the light than these people's would be). Why the double standard? Why this blatant disregard for safety? Why does anyone listen to them? The argument should be about the most appropriate type of lighting, not whether there should or should not be lights.
