Crawford to selectmen: One way or the other, get streetlights back on in village BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The continuing discussion this week on a proposal to turn streetlights back on in North Conway provoked more questions, plus harsh criticism of the current historical light fixtures, but no answer on what changes may be in store. The Mount Washington Valley Preserva-
tion Association came up with a plan several weeks ago to turn on some of the lights that were shut off several years ago in North Conway Village. Under the plan the preservation association would buy new, energyefficient LED lights and fixtures if the town would commit to putting the money saved toward turning lights back on. That conversation quickly branched off into a discussion about flags and wreaths on
utility poles — something that has been an ongoing issue of concern for some. The historical fixtures, because of their low height, make it impossible to attach either flags or wreaths to the poles. Going back to traditional “cobra-head” lights — also available in with LED technology — would open up real estate on the pole see LIGHTS page 8
