In January, the city was working on a survey of residential street lighting due to the neighborhood’s high number of car break-ins. Every block in the neighborhood was assessed to determine if additional lighting was required, was warranted or was even possible.

Another 33 blocks were rated as “not recommended” mainly due to tree canopies which would block out any lighting.
