Map of the phases of the project

The Edwards Metropolitan District is pursuing night-sky compliant pedestrian lighting along Miller Ranch Road.

The road is very dark after sunset and concerns were voiced regarding children walking to afterschool programs, Battle Mountain students and staff walking home after dark, and high school cross country teams practicing in the early morning hours. Others were concerned due to the impacts on climate change by driving to events (school plays, band concerts, football games, etc.) when the proximity is favorable to walking but the darkness was a deterrent.

Community Support is important to the Edwards Metro District. The District is reaching out to various community partners for funding.
