Mr. Buck stated that people feel unsafe on the Mall at night, they feel that there is not enough light but he personally thin~s the lights are adequate, but some people are fearful of being there at night and for that reason the lights need to be upgraded so that people feel that they are safe. The Mayor stated that he agrees that something should be done about the side streets, but he feels a decision must be made about the Mall lights in order that the staff may proceed with what is to be done on theMall extension so that the lighting will be uniform.
