Actually, studies show the increased lighting decreases crime and drug-related activity. This is why MARC chose lighting as the first phase of the Torresdale Avenue Project.
The added light will also highlight some of the $100,000 worth of facade improvements that MARC made to 22 local businesses.
Thank you for your input and I hope to see concerned neighbors, such as yourself, at the fundraiser to support further revitalization efforts throughout the community.
