Urban Street Lighting Project

To whom it may concern,

In urban areas, virtually all street lights are designed and built for the automobile. These schemes waste energy, value automobile over pedestrian safety, and emit destructive light pollution. Most city dwellers have to travel miles to see the night sky. If all lighting was designed for the pedestrian, we could save energy (LED), direct the light downward and prevent glare, and create an amazing pedestrian environment. Is this an eligible economic stimulus project?
