In 2009, in an effort to balance our local government budget, a decision to turn off many of the street lights in Santa Rosa was made. Unfortunately, as well intentioned as this idea was, this ordinance has negatively impacted the quality of life and safety of the residents and non-residents of the area. Moreover, the period for which this light-reduction program was to be in effect, expired in 2012. Therefore, we are respectfully asking the City of Santa Rosa Transit Authority to consider turing the lights back on.
Thank you,

Walking down my street in total darkness every evening reminded me why I started this, but seeing the momentum grow gives me actual hope for change. It is incredible to see so many neighbors finally saying that the safety of our families is more important than a temporary budget fix.

TOTAL SAFETY HAZARD. why are we paying taxes if the city cant even keep the lights on??
way overdue. 2012 was years ago guys. get it together.
it is getting way too dangerous to walk my dog at night. can barely see the sidewalk let alone cars coming. turn them back on already!
Ridiculous that this is still going on. My street is pitch black and I dont feel safe getting out of my car after work.
my neighborhood is so dark at night i cant even see who is walking down the street. we need our lights back.
