Don't live on that part of the island, but they do look chitty.

They should have single theme for the lights on the island like they do all the way down Collier Blvd.

Cant really see why they would put those massive lights up. As dumb as the speed limit being changed for 36 hours...that went over well

What is apparent is the apathy of the people on the island until it is much to late to do anything about it. Where were all the people when they put those very expensive light poles and lights down Collier every 50 feet instead of some reasonable distance. The Collier project cost us $38 million. Had we spaced those fancy lights a little further apart (which was suggested at the time), we'd have nice lights going in where needed on the island, such as on Bald Eagle in Old Marco. Now the City is so far in debt, you get what they can afford and for now it appears to be the Walmart variety of lights for you.

People need to follow the issues, read the City Council Agenda's and show up for meetings and let their voices be heard for all issues.

Good luck trying to throw out the $2500 lights and repurchase $5000 lights along with holding up a Contractor, who will be charging us while you argue your case.
