Letter to the Editor: Not a fan of Greenbelt lighting

Dear Editor,

Your Year in Review issue (1-6-25) started out with the Green Belt Taskforce celebrating new Lighting. Not everyone is celebrating. The Taskforce and the City have helped create a truly remarkable path along the River. There are National Parks that don’t have the amount of Wildlife we have. Beaver, Otters, Muskrat, Fox, Coyote, Raccoon. The large birds include Swans, nesting Bald Eagles and Red Tail Hawks. Pelicans, Heron and Cranes. It’s a GREAT place to walk!

I realize some will like the new Lighting . Just wanted you to know how I feel, I think it was a mistake to lose that darkness. People who walked in the dark had flashlights. Not everything should be lit up. If more lights are planned please reconsider. Thank you.

Thomas Backstrom
