(haipo) - The Paris Square in Haifa, famous for its unique Parisian lanterns, is only partially lit as many of those special lanterns, donated by the Municipality of Paris, are faulty and off. The square, a symbol of the friendship between Israel and France, remains dark due to malfunctioning and switched off lanterns, and thereby loses its glow , this is apart from the fact that staying and passing through it causes discomfort and damage to the sense of security of the passers-by.
"Feeling of insecurity"
in the system haipo Many complaints are received from residents who live near the square or who work in the area. One of the residents said: "In the evenings, especially in the winter season, it gets completely dark already at five in the evening." When there is no adequate street lighting, the sense of security is compromised, especially in an area like this, which is central and has many offices, workplaces, cafes and restaurants. It's really not appropriate."
Warm relationship
Paris Square, formerly known as Hamra Square, changed its name in 1954 in recognition of the warm relations between Israel and France in the 50s. As part of the special relationship between the countries, in 2011 the area was renovated as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program in the lower city. The renovation, designed by a French company, included a redesign of the square, and in November 2011, the inauguration ceremony of the renovated square was held, with the participation of the French ambassador to Israel and the mayor of Paris at the time, Bertrand Delanoit. As part of the event, the Municipality of Paris donated furniture and unique lighting fixtures, which turned the square into an urban symbol with a European tone.
A widespread problem in the city
It turns out that malfunctioning or defective street lighting is not unique to Paris Square alone. Many residents of Haifa report additional places and areas throughout the city, some central, others less so, where a similar problem exists due to malfunctioning or missing lighting, or that is not activated during the hours when it is required. In the winter season, when darkness falls early, the residents describe a feeling of discomfort and in some cases even a real fear of walking in dark or poorly lit places.
"It is important that the municipality takes seriously the issue of public lighting in the city," says another resident. "The Paris Square area, with all its history and symbolic meaning, needed to shine not only from a physical point of view, but also as a model for the proper care of infrastructure."
The Haifa Municipality has not yet provided an answer.
The street lights in Haifa collapse about twice every week and every day in a street or another area.

Waiting until all the lights break down, then installing LED lighting projects, which cannot be repaired like the previous lights.
Unfortunately, he also ran away in Israel yesterday, it was dark without headlights and this is the second time without an explanation.
They need to get rid of the swastikas on the benches first!
On the other hand, at Mega Carrefour Carmelia, the lighting has been changed and those who want to experience a blinding blow and eye pain are welcome to enter, as long as you have sunglasses or a card with a hole through it, you can see the intensity of the lighting there
Hahaha but what?…
The lighting is activated by a clock that sets an on and off time that does not correspond to the hours of light and darkness. A photocell sensor would turn on and off depending on the lighting outside. In many places the light bulb is burned out and there is no replacement. The old mayor has stopped walking around the city and we are not aware of the sad situation.
Why feeling insecure? Because who lives and lives in this area? Exactly Bnei HaBaliel, it's time for the residents of Haifa to wake up and realize that Kahna was right to transfer now. Do not sell or rent apartments to them, there is no blessing with this money, they are here to destroy our city.
For example, Louis Promenade is very dark and unpleasant to walk on, especially behind the hotels
What do you have to look for behind the hotels in the hours of darkness??????
