Nuisance Lights

I am requesting the repair of the burned-out streetlight at 314 West 4th Street, which is in front of the Kirkwood building near the B-Line Trail. The dark empty WonderLab on the left, the alley, the dark empty electrical company parking in front, and the dark empty financial assistant building parking on the right are all empty at night, creating a lack of visibility on a street used sporadically by residents walking their dogs. Homeless individuals sneak into the front lawn under the unlit landscape balcony area; while we are compassionate toward them, they are not residents and their intentions are unknown. These issues have skyrocketed in past years during cold weather when the Salvation Army is full, as individuals attempt break-ins to get arrested and have a warm night in jail. The front lobby glass window of the electrical company was also broken at night last year. The photograph shows the street is dark even with the apartment lights on, but becomes very dark when those lights turn off.
