CAPE MAY – Cape May City Council introduced an ordinance, Aug. 15, to regulate light pollution. The ordinance says it is in the best interests of the public for the city to preserve and protect against light pollution and unnecessary sky glow, while promoting nighttime safety and security.

The multipage ordinance defines issues of concern, asking residents to consider mindful light design that is respectful of neighbors, not harmful to wildlife, and not wasteful of energy.
