Is this a fact or is it conjecture? I understand both parties who chimed in here are developers (a little full disclosure would have been nice since Mr Montelli has a direct stake in the issue) and I also assume there is a bit of expertise involved but to me it seems that you both may be jumping the gun unless someone else connected to the project can confirm or deny that there will be no lighting.

The development going up now on State near the bridge has an especially large stake in this. Connectivity to the developments (hopefully) to come across the river (existing crossfit and potential development of CT Transit building) and the character of said eventual development could be swayed if the bridge isn't "scary" to the new upscale developments new upscale residents.

Regardless, all this may be a tempest in a teapot if there are actually plans to include lighting and they have made unconventional or less obvious plans to do so.

Can someone from DOT or Traffic and Parking confirm or deny?

Full disclosure? I have met more than a dozen times with groups of people from East Rock; my name has been in the paper many times since we went through the approval process in the fall of 2013; I have met many of our neighbors; and I am at the site every week. It is not a secret I am developing the project on State Street. Many people know this. Also, unlike you, I don't stand behind an alias on this post, which I think further demonstrates full disclosure.

One of my jobs as developer is to be the advocate for the future residents of our community. But what we are building is only part of the existing East Rock community. The added lighting would benefit the entire community, on both sides of the highway.

Hi , I was walking the street with Henry Dynia who was born at 93 Nash, and he is the Director of Neighborhood Housing Services and he mentioned that it is very dark in that area, and we should check to make sure the state/city have plans for lighting both for cars and pedestrians, Since then I emailed our alderperson Jessica Holmes top inquire how do we find out if there are plans?

I don't know the politics of this, but I do agree that having enough lighting, and putting it in the plans early enough to be part of the plans, instead of adding it on later, is very important.
