Sorry for the triple post, you really should get an edit post button on this blog. One website DEFINITELY worth noting and possibly an article or blog post (would love to see a print article in the sunday oklahoman about this).

The following website talks about and encourages cities to use energy efficient LED lighting, etc.

I also wanted to add, Ann Arbor, Michigan has been 100% LED lighting for several years.

I seriously hope they pick NONE of the above, including the ugly one brought by Derek Boss. Frankly whomever is in charge of this, from what I’m seeing and reading on your blog, should be embarrassed. The fact that there is no design competition and public vote or committee is ridiculous. Another lack of foresight by the council and City Manager. It boggles me how naive our city leaders are on so many issues, and even worse, very few citizens in this entire city care to call them out or show up to a council meeting. The minimum requirements for the lights should be solar panels and LED’s. Let’s think about the future if we’re trying to shape it folks!!!
