that's exactly how Geelong's council would respond, they're adding more lights all the time. not just street lights, most are lights in places to illuminate "dark corners", in addition to streetlights. lately people seem to think the bus stops and taxi areas arn't bright enough, so council puts up more lights. i think before bus stops it was clock towers and billboards that were not bright enough for people to enjoy.

although the new streetlights seem to have a feature designed with astronomers in mind... kicking the base of the new street lights makes them go out for about 3minutes. hmmm?
