This issue is not simply bike advocates VS NIMBY homeowners, nor is it
Lights VS No-Lights folks. The folks who have /actually/ seen the
proposed lighting at Council Bluff will likely understand my meaning.
Whatever you feel about whether bike paths should be lit by riders or by
an external source, I think most bikers who experiences the test light
adjacent Council Bluff will agree that it is /awful/.
As a long time BFW member and commuter on the SW Path since '03, I
really hope bike advocacy groups don't rally members to blindly support
this poorly conceived lighting plan. Until a vastly better design is
proposed, I much prefer to keep on using my LED bike light for my
evening commute. The handful of neighborhood bikers I've talked to agree.
If you haven't already, please take some time to check out the test
lights and pass along your suggestions to [email protected]
before the Dec 11 hearing

...and no, I'm not an adjacent homeowner
