Council Member Restler emphasizes the need for comprehensive tracking and goal-setting for lighting commercial corridors and improving pedestrian safety.
- He argues the city does not have appropriate goals for properly lighting commercial corridors each year
- Proper lighting can reduce traffic fatalities, improve economic activity, community safety, and walkability
- He wants metrics and goals the Department of Transportation is held accountable to, beyond just responding to incidents
- Restler is open to discussing specifics like lighting power, but prioritizing pedestrian spaces is key
