They’ve almost finished revamping the streetscape along Centre Road.
As a resident and ratepayer, I have only one question about the lighting outside the post office:
Why?
I could perhaps understand it if it was a popular spot at night. But it’s not.
I suppose it looks kinda cool, kinda groovy, the green light emanating from beneath the benches and out of the ground. I’m still not sure I understand it though. Is looking cool reason enough?
Update. Post date screwed up. Corrected to 16/7/2008.

Is it to discourage people from sleeping there? :)
The lights are only in that specific part of the street. Other areas with benches, don’t have them.
The lights are not there for earthly reasons. I’ve already said too much.
fnord
Now I understand why it looks so strange during day time.
Maybe it’s to help people find their way to the post office boxes.
Haha. I’mnot sure about the massive yellow lights, but the green lights are pretty retro….it’s abit random though :)
Well..actually it’s a LOT random haha
Centre Road Bentleigh, who would have thought.
They had to do their bit to increase their electricity bill!
Those benches don’t actually need the supports, the green light is from the hover generators. But they put the supports there anyway so as not to scare people who aren’t familiar with hover generator technology.
Looks like the council is very brave and clever – whilst at the same time, being gratuitous and excessive.
Drat! You’ve discovered the landing strip.
>> Is looking cool reason enough?
Hell yeah!!! :)
At least when you sit on them you can proudly say with all authority that the light is shining out of your bum.
Pity the taggers have been there already.
