After feedback from concerned community members, 68 dimmers were recently installed in the bollards along the Arrow Drive walking path. This initiative aims to reduce the light intensity (lumens) emitted by these fixtures to ensure a more pleasant and natural walking environment, enhancing the path’s appeal without compromising safety.
