Patty's Story - Path Lighting Would Help

[Story collected at Neighborhood Office Hours, Arapahoe Ridge.]

"I walk a lot: I walk for exercise, I walk the dogs, I walk for fun. I like the fact that I can walk to a grocery store within 10 minutes of my house. I live on a multi-use path north of Iris, but it’s not lit, so my teenagers don’t want to walk on the path at night to get to friends’ houses or to get home. It would make a huge difference to have low lighting for safety. I love the paths. We chose to move to Boulder so our kids could walk and bike to school – I didn’t grow up doing that."
