POTENTIAL ENHANCEMENTS TO THE RAILWAY GREENWAY

Alternative Lighting Solutions PBX also provided input on alternative lighting approaches, including solar lights, photoluminescent aggregate and bollards. 144,000 231,000 254,000 230,000 254,000 254,000 1,367,000 PBX raised caution with the use of solar lights for this application due to the limited availability of sunlight throughout much of the year, battery maintenance and potential theft, placement limitations for optimal sunlight capture and a higher upfront cost. Photo luminescent aggregate is a type of material that is applied to the pathway itself and can absorb and store light energy from natural or artificial light sources and then emit that energy in the fonn of visible light in darkness. When mixed with concrete or asphalt, photo luminescent aggregate can be used to provide pathway illumination for pedestrian walkways, paths and trails. PBX did not recommend the use of photo luminescent aggregate in this application due to the limited duration of emitted light, limited brightness and extent of illumination, maintenance requirements and costs required to replace existing paving. Bollards, short vertical posts often used to control vehicle and pedestrian traffic, can be designed with integrated lighting. PBX did not recommend the use of bollards in this application due to their limited height, poor illumination coverage, and cost; they noted that bollards might be more appropriate for decorative or ambient lighting. Considerations To determine whether lighting is appropriate for the Railway Greenway, there are a number of factors that should be considered. Community Impact
