Light it up, Bellflower that is...

So there has been much discussion lately about CSULB's push to add more lights on Bellflower Blvd. and since this issue has a lot to do with a push to improve transportation issues on campus, I figured I would investigate it further.

For those of you who don't know much about this effort, President F. King Alexander and the university has been working with the local city council to push for the city to implement better lighting on Bellflower Blvd. Many students and local residents walk, run, and bike down this street each night, and there is major concern about the safety of the street. The measure has been met by opposition in the city council. Recently ASI even hosted a protest (which was a tad bit unsuccessful) to bring light to the issue. As a side note, the OPINIOPN piece in the 49er was not the best ever, but it's practically the only place to find news about CSULB transportation.

Don't fret though, in an article written by the LBReport President F. King Alexander said that if the city council was unable to help,CSULB will still find a way to light up Bellflower.

Until then, we shall remain.... in the dark
