SAVE WHITE ROCK LAKE PARK
KEEP IT NATURAL - NO MORE UNNECESSARY LIGHTS

The City plans to install 650 light poles around the lake!

• Tell the City to remove the West Lawther light poles and to not plan any more

• • Plan no more lights on the shoreline or nature trail
• • No Parking After Dark in the park unless the lot serves a specific night use: Dog Park, Winfrey Point, boat clubs, Bath House, etc.

After the public outcry over the West Lawther light poles, Councilman Kadane convened a task force group to address lighting at the lake. The task force included following key stake-holders:

• White Rock Neighborhood Association

• • Peninsula Neighborhood Association
• • For the Love of the Lake
• • Corinthian Sailing Club
• • White Rock Boat House (rowing clubs)
• • White Rock Lake Foundation
• • Greater Dallas Bicycle Club

The consensus of the Task Force was as follows:

• • Remove the existing West Lawther light poles
• • Plan no more lights to protect natural environment
• • No lights on the nature trail or shoreline to protect lake views
• • No Parking at night in the park, unless for a specific activity (Winfrey Point, Dog Park, Bath House, etc.)
