Description

Three of the lights along the pedestrian path between the tennis courts and the athletic fields west of Ellicott (see map) have not been working for at least a month, and probably longer. This is the path going from Ellicott/Frontier Road to Creekside Village.

The remaining working lights are very dim. There is no other artificial light along the path except for tennis court lighting, which is usually off. Trees block most of any starlight or moonlight. Consequently, there is a 60-foot stretch of near-complete darkness. Needless to say, this creates a substantial hazard, which will only worsen during poor weather or once snow and ice accumulate on the path.
