I’ve lived near the Atascadero Creek bike path for two years and walk there frequently. During walks before sunset that land me at home when it's dark, I've noticed lots of bike path light posts are out, sometimes many in a row, which makes for long dark spots along the path. This is one reason I don't bike to work at UC Santa Barbara, since I don't want to bike home in the dark. It also feels very unsafe when I am walking.
One evening, right at dusk until about one hour after dark (8-9 p.m.) I noted the light poles that were out. Each light post has a label on it that says: "Report Bike Lighting Problems 805-884-8073 or bikelighting@cosbpw.net (Please include pole #)" Then it has a label with the pole number.Some of the pole number labels were completely worn down, so I had to figure out what number they were.
I emailed my list, then when I didn't hear back for several days, I called the number. The person who called me back said that the email listed is old and not checked anymore, so it was good I called. She then sent me a follow-up email.
