Streetlight LED Conversion

[jamincan]

Aren't those the same arguments we saw against LRT? People liking the current style (decorative lights or wider no-catenary roads) even when the alternative was much better for the future (uniform lighting systems, better illumination of all colours, less wasted/stray light, lower power/maintenance costs, and the many reasons for rapid transit we all know so well). Similar to the "neighbourhood character" or "stable neighbourhood" arguments brought up against development.

Those are legitimate arguments. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't always go forward with something, but these are factors that should still be considered when going forward with a project.
