Iași reduce intensitatea iluminatului stradal

The Iași City Hall has revised its nighttime street lighting policy, opting for reduced intensity instead of complete shutdowns. This change follows public criticism and aims to balance energy savings with the needs of essential services. The mayor emphasized the importance of maintaining operations for hospitals and major companies. New measures include reduced lighting in half of the city and specific guidelines for public transport and commercial areas. The decision has sparked backlash from local political leaders, who argue it was made without public consultation and could negatively impact tourism.
