City that never sleeps to get 11 pm lights out order under Dem NY state lawmaker proposal
Manhattan assemblywoman Deborah Glick's proposal aims to reduce energy consumption, cut down on light pollution, and protect migratory birds.
A proposed bill from a New York state lawmaker could dramatically change the nighttime atmosphere of New York City, potentially leaving landmarks like the Empire State Building and nearly half of the city dark after 11 pm.
Manhattan assemblywoman Deborah Glick has sponsored the “Dark Skies Protection Act,” which would require many businesses and residential buildings in New York City to turn off non-essential lighting between 11 pm and 5 am. The proposal aims to reduce energy consumption, cut down on light pollution, and protect migratory birds.
