Do you think white lights are better? Read Marchant and Norman: "No convincing evidence was found for an improvement (or detriment) in road safety by relighting with white lamps, despite the extensive, city-wide installation efforts and associated costs." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Also, Mayor Jacob Frey: your statement that "criminals fear a well-lit street" is unfounded in fact. I can show you plenty of studies to the contrary. If you're interested in learning what street lighting actually *can* do for communities, have someone on your staff contact me.
