Should Moses Springer Park Get New Trail Lighting?
Official title: Moses Springer Park Lighting
Waterloo is planning to install pedestrian lights along the Laurel Trail in Moses Springer Park. The lights would run from MacKay Crescent to Marshall Street, crossing Laurel Creek. Construction is expected to start in spring 2026.
Why This Matters
Walk or bike through Moses Springer Park? This project could make the trail safer after dark. Neighbours might have concerns about light spilling into their yards.
What Could Change
New pedestrian-scale lights would be installed along the Laurel Trail from MacKay Crescent to Marshall Street. The design will use full cutoff fixtures, timers, and motion sensors to minimize light pollution for nearby homes.
Key Issues
- How should lighting be designed to avoid impacting neighbouring properties?
- What lighting features would best serve trail users year-round?
