Whitehall has no streetlights, but each house has a lamp post on their property out towards the streets. The home owners will now have to take out of pocket money to provide their own safety. Not a good idea. Look at another way to save money.

Try fining those who have the trash out prior to designated time..

Maybe the money that we can save by eliminating unnecessary lighting could be used to create some "walking lanes" for people. I am more concerned about people walking in the road and it is difficult to see them regardless of streetlights. It is unrealistic to try to illuminate the whole boro at night, and in many cases the street-lights just create more shadows or dark spaces. How about solar street lights as on I-529 or motion sensor lights,

Why is the district trying to make our neighborhoods less attractive to new residents? The fact that Whitehall doesn't have street lights is only more of a reason for us to keep them. Besides lower taxes, we need a way to stay competitive in the housing market and bring new families into our community. For 66K, this entire argument is ridiculous.

Solar spotlights are very expensive. They start at 499 each and when the batteries go on them they are very expensive to purchase. These also are commonly stolen when out on road other than highways and it wouldn't be cost effective if the borough having to replace them if they are stolen. Battery packs are also very expensive to replace on solar streetlights.

Baldwin, you looking to save money how about your public works crews cut boro owned grass. YOUR GOING TO PAY A CONTRACTOR $103,000 DOLLARS FOR A THREE YEAR CONTRACT TO CUT GRASS. Everyone knows the road crew is not overly busy in the good weather months. Leave the lights on !
