Mayor says new lighting in Memphis will make streets safer

[@adamrobinson7037]

They doing foolish stuff in broad daylight. What makes you think street lights are going to change anything...lmao

[@Jose-pc6ek]

Haha thought I was the only one

[@hottrodd4532]

It's weaponized! 😳⚡⚡

[@bubblybubbles4023]

Lights won't help, the criminals don't care. Everyday they are carjacking and committing crimes in broad daylight.

[@TheEssence9626]

thank you new lights so the opps can spot me clearly

[@martin34ist]

Fix those potholes too!

[@thedominator370]

If the sunlight doesn't do the job you think those lights will lol

[@dougcollins8232]

I don't agree with the price tag but honestly in most areas of the city it be absolutely pitch black dark. Needs more lightning.

[@tycal5439]

I love my city but these people spend money on things thats not gone help crime at all smh

[@kaydod3190]

It ain’t your city and nothing to love about it

[@jsolo7576]

roaches scatter in the light

[@dougcollins8232]

Those lights are much needed. Too many pedestrians be wearing dark clothing and jay walking.

[@gunnermack1642]

Lights? How bout cops, how many arrests have Lights made in the last 60 yrs..

[@quentinhendrix2375]

This may work in Memphis in the 60s

[@Catalyst-du3cp]

Brighter lights, man that’s genius!! Who would of ever thought?

[@scottchildress6392]

$550 per street light!

[@Special150]

Yes, $550 per light. Meanwhile the streets are filled with litter, drug addicts, homeless and crime. NOT a bright 💡 idea.

[@leeleethal8636]

The whole city will start to get sick from these lights is all I can think of... criminals will be too sick to commit crimes.

[@sayless1445]

Make those new and improved street lights zap these guns Out of folks hands, then you will be on to something. Lord know memphians need that asap

[@redshark1981]

How about start locking the parents up

[@HAD97]

Finally some sense I see!

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Those led lights will turn purple.

[@zayt901]

more unnecessary spending, like those bike lanes.

[@doughesson]

They couldn't get a local company to do the work? One downside of LED lights is that they don't put out much heat Which can be used to keep the wiring drier & the lens freer from ice.

[@sidesaddleintobattle4984]

The heat itself causes ice to form

[@doughesson]

@@sidesaddleintobattle4984 Heat melts ice. Didn't you take grade school level science?

[@spitfirespeakeasy8978]

Fight crime with lighting 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣 😂 😆 and prayers. No actions needed 🙃 🙂 😅 👌

[@skinnythin3599]

Lol,they’ll just shoot the lights out

[@squirkblue6780]

How lights gone make the streets safer 🙄😒 tell me Mr.aint from da streets

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

It's called visibility.

[@geraldbryant8905]

Unless those LED lights got guns that pop out of them 🤷🏿‍♂️ like on robocop or sum🙎🏿‍♂️

[@anthoney5416]

So basically they get better lighting to rob us 😂😂😂😂

[@jimmybates1469]

Lights ain't going to change nothing

[@truthmatters7563]

Street lights really street lights that's what's going to make memphis safe? No you need arm guards 24/7 patrol patrol cars out on the road. Until then the crime level rise to new heights. Put that street light at your house so they can come find you.

[@williewalker92]

That's not gonna help anything, thugs wear. Mask

[@mskittysraiinbowpass]

I'm sorry but ain't no lights gonna stop nothing when crime is happening in broad daylight and they don't care .If that's the case then every city and state needs them

[@Ayify-12]

Let that it be a new mayor!!

[@shironsmith1109]

i respect of giving more light for safety . but as you can see by the news video clips .. they committing crime in the day . so if they bold enough to do it in the day what will criminals care about a led light ? just saying ??

[@kylegroth3199]

It's something that still needs to be done. 55% energy savings for a big city I imagine adds up to a pretty good amount of money they can spend on other things instead of lights...

[@Jose-pc6ek]

Now they can really hit the main target pretty smart mayor

[@buttercup4123]

Maybe the city is a little to dark..🚸

[@OfficialCmosix]

Wtf the light gotta do wit it 😂

[@patrickglenn8914]

👁️🎥

[@thehumbleonez4030]

That's a genius idea

[@snaker7254]

Do they shoot lazers?

[@jwise7114]

Put lasers on the street lights and zap the crime .

[@kendrickjones1201]

Good job but for 42million dollars deposited into my bank account and I bet want no criminals be around these street lights but good job carry on with yall awesome life I love yall.

[@alanlangley7246]

more lights to see the target better keep it up memphis makes all proud

[@Rambo-Donkey]

Integrity makes everyone safer. Sad to see the strength Memphis gained be lost to corruption and allowed violence

[@sidesaddleintobattle4984]

Street lights so the shooters can see their targets better

[@pgppe9488]

Hire more policemen and ladies, elect officials who are committed to supporting law abiding citizens and then build more jails. Maybe then start working with the youth (6-10) so they are prepared to make better decisions.

[@martinburns7928]

And today?

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Let me drive the boat.

[@trinaisspeakin4539]

Y'all need too stop what it need in Memphis is they keep them dangerous people off the street and keep them dangerous cops off the street that's mingling with the drug dealers and Street games and rappers

[@xxiv8841]

[@ignatiocoepi1044]

Resign, now.

[@deemcg3982]

Yeah right😂

[@moneyg8227]

I always thought the city at night was dull the bright street lights is a good idea

[@thedopeshow6817]

YFR(Yeah f.ing right) lol

[@ladariusjacox1469]

Can we put these lights in all the communities instead of jus black communities??? Crime do not have a color so don't just put them in the urban community put them all over the city 👏🏼👏🏼

[@jazdj04]

now you know blk communities crime is significantly higher. I'd rather it be focused more in problem areas (like where I live) than placing them in white areas so blk ppl can have their feelings coddled. cause the criminals couldnt care less about your feelings. shine the light on 'em. idc.

[@tammieclark4779]

Waste of money.. crimes are being committed in the daylight broad day at that and some right by the police stations and at the hospital..ijs🙄🤔

[@hawkermustang]

We need to give more money to Ukraine.

[@wildnkarafree]
