Greenville Police and city leaders are looking to upgrade the street lights in the city by introducing LED lights.
The idea is to strategically determine locations where the bright lights will help to reduce crime and prevent pedestrian accidents, where vehicle drivers are unable to spot the pedestrians.
Over the last couple of years more than 200 street lights have been upgraded in areas of high crime and the result has been that in one area which experienced high levels of crime, the violent crimes decreased by 70%.
The program will continue to especially target all areas of the city where there have been pedestrian accidents, which are often fatal.
So far there are 858 requests from citizens for LED lights in their area and according to the police, they will begin on the west side of Greenville and aim to cover several city blocks.
