They have continual problems with folks doing drug deals in their community, often at the park because there are benches, and a park bench is a perfect spot for it especially if it is not located near a continuous light, easily observable from the road and people traffic.

How serious and widespread is this concern about the solar bench leading to drug deals? Is it worth identifying a new site or just talking with these people individually to see what they are really concerned about and how it might weight against the benefits.<br>
