The proposal in context
Dark streets feel unsafe and grid power is unreliable. Solar lights work during outages and have no electricity bill, but panels and batteries need replacing and protecting from theft.

Ballots
Solar streetlights improve safety for residents despite potential maintenance costs.
Solar-powered streetlights enhance safety in poorly lit areas with unreliable grid power; however, they incur initial costs for installation and maintenance against risks like theft.
Solar-powered streetlights improve safety and reliability on residential roads where grid power is unreliable.
Solar lights make dark residential streets safer and keep working through outages, but panels and batteries need replacing and guarding against theft, an ongoing cost.
