“A reevaluation of a more sustainable solution for the Broughton Street lights will be necessary in 2025,” the memo states. “Looking ahead, we recommend engaging community leaders in discussions about the long-term vision for citywide holiday decorating.”
There was no word on whether tinsel is acceptable these days.
