There's 1 big accident in the intersection every year - caused by the parking on the street that blocks the view of cars coming. If they would just not allow street parking for a few hundred feet in each direction everything would be fine. But they say that would hurt the business of the pizza place (owner of which is opposed to street light) - but pizza place has parking in the rear.
It's stupid.
The people who are all for don't live near the intersection (mostly self-important volunteer firemen who stand around drinking coffee, spitting tobacco juice, and talking about 'something needs to be done" once a year when there's an accident) - the people that are against it do.

It's not about how the light would look, it's about big trucks slowing down, idling, and accelerating right in front of my house. That would suck.
