PHOTOS: New Street Lights Installed on Ebenezer Road

Residents had complained about poor lighting.

Ebenezer Road in Perry Hall has lightened up.

County Councilman David Marks submitted the above photos of the "250-watt high pressure sodium fixtures" installed by Baltimore Gas and Electric Company on Tuesday.

Baltimore County approved and funded the lights at a cost of about $2,000 each, Patch reported in July.

Local resident Resident Gita Veskimets first reached out to Marks about the need for more lights and gathered signatures of support in an agreement with the Department of Public Works.

Marks said he was  impressed that the lights were installed within the expected timeframe.

I'm glad there aren't any near me. I'm one of those light pollution nuts and no I'm not pro-crime. However, I keep my property locked, guarded with a trained dog and assert my rights under the Constitution, so I'll sleep in the dark thank you.

People do not understand that brighter light makes darker shadows, and constricts the pupil of your eye, making it harder to see anywhere the light is missing (under the trees along the sidewalk, for example). Dimmer lights cooperate better with our eyes to help us see at night. Bright lights only protect immediately where the bright light shines. Around the farms? They should be dark. It's the country. You want bright lights, move where they are!

Thank you DougW for a well thought out explanation of how I feel! Light pollution is so awful. I have icky neighbors with those stupid protection lights that go on every time a mosquito flies by or a bunny hops past. Ugh. Why not just install a strobe light? It's so sad how much you can't see at night because of all the lights.

My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that wasRead More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.

Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.

Sounds like your sister in law needs to grow a brain. If an 8 year old is running around like aRead More maniac, grab your child and GO FIND an employee to wage a complaint and get the kid booted. My daughter is 6 and went a couple weeks ago and was not permitted beyond the gate with the other kids in the group. Just because some ghetto monkey jumped the fence one day, don't give this place a black eye for it.
