Street lighting adds urban character and keeps our streets safe. However, the environmental and economic impacts are remarkable and cost some cities millions of dollars per year to keep street lights on. To avoid drastically restructuring a municipality’s energy-producing infrastructure, innovative designs are under development across the globe to illuminate roadways and walkways, and achieve more efficient traffic flow.

Bicycling is not only a healthy recreational activity; it is a growing means of environmentally friendly transportation, especially in large and congested cities like New York. The New Springville Greenway at Freshkills Park, now under construction, is a project that supports bicycling as a hobby and as a viable way to get to work and school.
