MR. RIVARD: I can't speak specifically for them, but the feeling primarily was in the people that were against it - and don't stick me for it - they think the government shouldn't throw something on you that you don't want. MAYOR DEMOS: This started with the people. MR. RIVARD: You made a deal that you wouldn't stick me with that. There has been opposition that has been formulated prior to the petition. We had one woman in the block - Mrs. Smith - that took this upon herself, and I'm looking at the petition that has 22 names - or representing five households at that time - who just asked - do you think we need street lighting, so this didn't become a neighborhood thing (in- audible) and we have an articulate neighborhood (inaudible). MAYOR DEMOS: You would like this continued then? MR. RIVARD: We have signatures on both lists. MAYOR DEMOS: This is kind of hard when you get one at the last minute. MR. RIVARD: Signatures of Swanson and Johnson are on both and they, as good neighbors for Toddie, figured if all we're doing is asking the city to make a study, sure we will sign, but they do not mean they want more lighting. MAYOR DEMOS: I have one comment. When you ask the city to do a study it costs us a little bit of money, and I wish people wouldn't sign petitions unless they are in the affirma- tive for going ahead. MR. RIVARD: You have a good point, and I hope you're not SCOlding me. MR. FRANK LINDIG, 3092 Shorewood Lane: I'd like to ask a question. Why did you pick that particular spot at the top between 3080 and 3092. We're just three houses from the existing arc light, so why would you put one in so close there? you're talking about the area being so dark. It isn't put in where the people who seem to feel the need should have it.
