This is very sad to hear. However I am not suprised this street is extremely dark when the sun goes down. And the residents who live in the apartment lining the street are forced to park on the street with zero protection from oncoming traffic. And then add in little to no lighting and no crosswalks except on the top end and bottom end of the street.
