What could be a sublimely beautiful view of our skyline is instead more cluttered than a suburban teenager's closet. We must take no more pride in ourselves than any other Craptown, USA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-62377342014263253832011-01-27T22:27:39.792-06:002011-01-27T22:27:39.792-06:00Some places can get buy without strong night light...Some places can get buy without strong night lighting, but Nashville's inner-interstate loop needs to be well lit.

The problem seems to be that there's nobody in charge of checking them out in the dark, and nobody can tell which ones have failed during the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-91333102429158357872011-01-24T14:31:17.906-06:002011-01-24T14:31:17.906-06:00Street lights are just the tip of the iceberg... t...Street lights are just the tip of the iceberg... the whole inner-loop is woefully out of date and an eyesore. The cluster-f ck that is the junction with I-65 south was built in 1968, and has not been updated to account for the changes in traffic flow, not to mention the huge volume increase since then. TDOT has ignored this road for far too long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-53857609822978052192011-01-24T06:03:16.278-06:002011-01-24T06:03:16.278-06:00It's not just the interstates. Street lights ...It's not just the interstates. Street lights are out everywhere I drive. Sometimes two and three in a row. I would report them, but I can't jot down the addresses while driving. What I want to do is say, "Just get out after dark, take a bunch of replacements with you and start driving."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-90419553249850210192011-01-20T09:30:50.703-06:002011-01-20T09:30:50.703-06:00The lack of maintenance is bothersome. If you can...The lack of maintenance is bothersome. If you can't maintain it, you shouldn't build it in the first place because it makes us like Port au Prince or some abandoned Rust Belt city. The question this begs for me is, Why do we apparently need to artificially light every square inch of our world from overhead to begin with? We have headlights, after all, and in rural areas where overhead lights are not provided, there is also lacking the ambient light pollution that an urban area provides. I say we save the money and stop erecting so many light poles we don't plan to maintain anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-13073254681736964342011-01-19T06:54:30.378-06:002011-01-19T06:54:30.378-06:00I too am bothered by this.

I-65 in the 100 Oaks area and I-65 around Briley/Ellington/Dickerson also have significant numbers of streetlights out. I have tried contacting NES, who is responsible, but it does no good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
