Bill said it has been brought to the table previously, and asked the group to consider why was put there originally? Alternate locations possible, but is it feasible? Will relocations reintroduce problems? PD has increased their presence, and better lighting would be of benefit, and could be a part of the planning effort. There is a list of relocations sites considered. Don't want to put it out of reach. There is a need for ownership from the users. Better to be patient and wait for the plan.
