This is how dark it is with the current street lights. This area is frequently targeted for car break-ins because it is so dark. Please help us with brighter street lights.

Here is another photo of the street after sunset.

I am tired of the darkness every time I drive or walk home on that street, not to mention the broken glass and empty alcohol bottles that are there in the morning.

My friends car window was broken here while she was visiting me. Please add lights so the OPD and Ambassadors can spot suspicious activity before it happens.

My friend's car was broken into at this spot. Lights would allow the OPD and the Ambassadors and our building security to identify suspicious activity before more damage occurs. The break ins are daily.

I have been a property owner and resident near this corner for one year. These dark streets are an invitation for car break-ins, drug use / dealing, and many other illegal activities. There are times throughout the year where we experienced broken windows nearly everyday. In one case, I witnessed a car break-in in progress at the corner of Valley and 23rd. I called the Oakland Ambassadors and they simply said "unfortunately this area is an easy target for car break-ins." Please help us address this problem by increasing the number of streetlights in this area.

We do not feel safe at night with the lack of light on Valley when going

to The New Parkway! Please add more lighting!

We need street lights.

My brother's car was broken into when he was visiting me. Please make Valley between W. Grand and 24th brighter. We need lights to help stop the crime.

i constantly see broken glass in the morning here. I feel uneasy having my guests park here when they visit me. please help!

The current lighting on 23rd consists of three decorative antique-style streetlights that produce mostly glare but very little usable illumination. They should be supplemented with full cutoff LED sconses that illuminate the street and sidewalk while minimizing glare.

Contact City Council and asked what happened to new LED's that should have been installed by now.

Lights are too dim, please brighten to reduce the auto break-ins and possible criminal activities.

A friend who was visiting me parked on Valley between West Grand and 23rd. Her car was broken into in bright dayight. Two windows were shattered. On another occasion, she was dropping me off in that same area. We were talking in the car and noticed a woman who walked up to the building, went berhind the shrubs, and urinated. As a homeowner in this area, I would like to know what is being done when people do things like this.
