Project Clean And Beautiful Environment

There has been a massive road construction going on near my work place. This has been going on for almost four months already. Because of this construction project of the government there is heavy traffic and rerouting which is a great inconvenience for both the commuters and the non-commuters.  However, this is something which everyone should understand as this is project will benefit everyone in the future. Just like the health park projects which the government had started months ago, the new road project is meant to promote a healthier lifestyle as there will be a lane meant for bikers and joggers. This road construction project is also meant to boost the tourism and economy in the city.  In addition, this is not only meant to beautify the city.

Little by little, we are seeing what should the proposed project should look like. The government is really seriously committing to a clean and beautiful environment and a healthier lifestyle. Aside from the trees and decorative plants which were planted along the streets, the old street lamps which had provided the city with light for as long as can remember were removed and were replaced with park lights which are not only beautifully designed but are functional as well. The phalanx of new park lights is a big improvement to the rusted old street lamps as it these are rust resistant. It is durable as well since it is made from cast aluminum which is the same material used to make sign frames, road signs and traffic signs. These are also heat resistant which can sure withstand the erratic change of weather. These powder-coated park lights are not only meant to improve the beauty of the city but to provide safety to everyone as well.

For now, a lot of people are still complaining about the heavy traffic, rerouting and noise coming from the heavy equipment which are used in the renovation project. But sooner or later everybody will realize that something good came out of result of their sacrifices. Hopefully everybody will be pleased of the result.

Pagoda Style Post Lights For A Safer Neighboorhood

Safety must always come first. However, I do not feel safe at all as I pass by our street every night. It is all because none of the street lamp posts in my neighborhood are working like it is suppose to. Our neighborhood is in darkness for almost two weeks already. The issue has been reported to the homeowners association the first night our neighborhood did not have any lighting. It is like a deja vu when the kids in our neighborhood accidentally hit one of the street lamp posts while playing ball several months ago. One of our neighbors at that time proposed vapor tight lighting fixtures as these types of lighting fixture are protected from breakage and other extreme condition.

But this time the lamps were stolen. It may sound impossible that the lamps of the 128 inched tall street lamp posts were stolen but it happened. The officers could have agreed on the suggestion to change the lamps. However, the officers of our homeowners association decided that the Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear Top is still a better option. These Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear Top lighting fixtures have been lighting our paths since time I can remember. These lamps provide not only better illumination and protection in our street but they also add up to our beautiful neighborhood as well.

However, after all the lamps were stolen, the homeowners association are considering to change the all the outdoor lamp posts. The architect suggested to use the Powder Coated Cast Aluminum 3-Lamp Pagoda Style Post Light. This decorative outdoor lamp post also provide beauty and illumination but compared to the Double Arm Vintage Design Lamp Post with Clear this outdoor lamp post looks better and three times safe from thievery since it is was made from cast aluminum. But right now, it does not matter what type of lighting is installed in our streets. Any type of lighting fixtures will do just as long as our streets lights again. Just like an infamous line goes, it is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark.

The river esplanade near our neighborhood which opened two years ago has been receiving a lot of good feedback. It has been one of the tourist attractions in town because of its clean surrounding and beautiful scenery. The river esplanade is not only clean and beautiful but it is child friendly as well. It is frequently visited by families and couples who just want to enjoy a good stroll or people who want to lose some extra weight. Smoking is definitely not allowed which pleases the non-smokers especially those who have allergic rhinitis and asthma.  Moreover, fun runs or run for a cause are conducted in the park. The first time it was opened to the public fun runs are organized almost every week.

But it was only earlier this evening that I was able to finally set foot in the new tourist attraction in my neighborhood and I almost kissed the ground. The place is a paradise. Everything looks lovely. It is beautiful in the morning but it is even more beautiful at night.  Even the monument sign which is illuminated by Fluorescent outdoor flood lights is great. At lot of people are taking pictures of the river esplanade sign. The flood lights, street lamps, and the other street lighting fixtures keep the whole place alive and beautiful. It made the esplanade look like it is from a different place. It can also make anyone who takes a long stroll feel safe.

Now, I understand why my one year and a half old niece wants to visit the river esplanade everyday. I regret that I did not visit the place soon enough. But tomorrow, I will surely visit it again and in the following days too. When I have time I will definitely join in group morning exercises. I will definitely have fun in my new favorite place.
