The Beverley Review

 

“Chicago, be bold. Keep the candle-like amber color. It’s proven the least disruptive to human circadian rhythms, ecosystems and environment. Fix what’s broken. Fix the light trespass, sky glow, light clutter, wasted tax dollars and natural resources, glare and over-illumination, and evaluate whether particular lights are even necessary—or might some be better off replaced with reflector technology or something else?

Don’t get stuck in contracts for harmful lighting. It is not in the best interest of our citizens and is irresponsible.”
