Residents pressed for updates as official cites liability for keeping lights on

Resident (S3) explained that lights in the area must remain on because turning them off could create legal liability if an accident occurred. "To having the lights stay on, barely, unfortunately, they do have to be left on... If those lights go off, it's a liability," S3 said, adding a stark example: "If someone were to get in... someone were to get killed, that's a 100% liability on this."

S3 also urged officials to provide short-term communications to residents and suggested a two-week cadence for updates while a trustee or the mayor's office investigates. "2 weeks, follow-up with them and tell them, like, hey... They said 30 days. And in 30 days, we'll have an answer," S3 said, asking residents to submit emails so officials can respond in writing.
