Opposition Party Urges Delay in Montreal LED Streetlight Initiative

Opposition party Projet Montréal is calling on the city to suspend its CA$110 million (US$86.55 million) initiative to replace 110,000 streetlights with LED lights due to concerns over health risks and light pollution. This week, the party plans to urge the city council to delay the project until the local health bureau and provincial standardization department complete their studies, as the release of critical findings has been postponed from spring to fall. City officials, however, have initiated pilot projects in select areas and assert that the health concerns cited by Projet Montréal may be exaggerated, pointing out that several Canadian cities have successfully implemented similar LED lighting. Notably, studies indicate that white LED lights can disrupt circadian rhythms, contributing to various health issues, leading some cities, like Sherbrooke, to opt for amber alternatives. The city remains open to modifying the lighting based on expert recommendations.
