After-hours parking lot safety

The Belmont Shore business association president asked what the camera trailers would cost and whether the bright lights and loud speaker audio would disturb people living next to the lots.

A resident supported focused, dark-sky-friendly lighting and warned that the camera trailer's flashing lights — like the one at Colorado Lagoon — should not be used in the district.

Criticized the lack of supporting documents and questioned why city processes take so long given three deaths and ongoing safety concerns.

Argued lighting is unproven, pointed to the city manager's 22-page safety memo, and noted bars with entertainment licenses already must provide lot security.

Said lighting only exposes problems without enforcement, and urged that residents be able to participate in discussions, not just comment.
