The lights are modern and very attractive and should blend in nicely
with the new buildings and pavilions that are going up.
-------------------------------
A nice simplistic view of things that does not address any of the
issues. There is such a thing as too much lighting, inappropriate
lighting, too bright lighting. Safety is just one of many factors.
Regarding design - Street lighting should relate to the streets not the
buildings as you assert. It is a public amenity that should acknowledge
and reinforce the history and significance of Asbury Park's street grid.
The sreets are the oldest significant artifact from the design and
founding of AP. The lighting should embrace and enhance that, not
ignore and contradict it.
How does 16 light fixtures in a view corridor that was supposed to
remain unobsrtructed advance the stated goals of the plan? How does
surronding Bradley Park with modern lighting enhance the
interpretaation of that historic district and Con Hall?
These are the kind of questions that are consistantly not asked or
answered.
You want the beachfront to look like a Walmart parking lot - you've got
it.
