Editor, Daily News:
The powers that be have stated that electrical lights are not feasible to remedy the problem of cars leaving the road and ending up in the Golden Gate Estate canals due to the cost. May I suggest installing solar-powered lighting?
As the picture on the Daily News editorial page showed, there is plenty of open space near the water's edge to generate enough Florida sun to power such lighting.
Many states have solar lights next to emergency call boxes on interstates and highways to assist stranded drivers with flat tires, etc.
Of course, any person destroying such lighting through BB guns, rocks, etc., would be prosecuted the same as if it were a stop sign, crosswalk, etc.
Maintenance and cost would be nil — perhaps even donated as a form of advertising.
What do you think? Just an idea!
