My backyard is bad bad bad! I livei in Niles and streetlights is not too bad, Milwaukee Ave in Niles have better streetlamps which is light go down but I live only a few miles from terrible streetlights......CHICAGO!. Waste streetlights! About 4 streetlights, poor and out of date lamps every one block! That's a lot of streetlights! If they remove every other streetlight and update improve lamps then the sky could be improve! I like Suburb Mt. Prosepect designed streetlights and it go down......plus small boards on the back of the lamps so the light don't go to the apartments or building!
I got IDA newsletter recently and Chciago think about the streetlights.....I hope they do something about it then they would save million of dollars per year!
