Perspective: Dimming the Lights — A Brilliant Suggestion

Breckenridge is on its way to achieving Dark Sky Community Certification, a goal set by the Town Council following public requests and research into light pollution reduction. The initiative, rooted in a lighting ordinance passed in 2007, aims to enhance the visibility of stars by replacing outdated street lights and promoting compliance with lighting codes among residents and businesses. Recent upgrades, such as the replacement of 463 street lights with dark-sky-friendly fixtures, have already resulted in clearer night skies, making the Milky Way a potential nightly attraction. While some residents have expressed concerns about the costs of new fixtures, the benefits—both economic and health-related—are seen as outweighing these expenses. The town’s efforts not only aim to boost tourism but also address the health issues linked to artificial light pollution. As Breckenridge embraces its natural beauty, residents are encouraged to evaluate their outdoor lighting to preserve the enchanting night sky.
