Our town has funding to refurbish our teeny downtown and despite intending to do everything else, road configuration change, new sidewalks and some building facad improvement, they are still saying burying the wires is too expensive. My suspicious mind tells me the utility company won’t agree to bargain. But I guess it is expensive.

It's nice that your town is renovating, but I think burying the wires is a bit costly. We have very few sidewalks here. Mostly just a portion of one of the main streets. We don't even have streetlights on our street, and no sidewalks, either.
We have a nightlight in our bedroom or it would be too dark to find our way around at night. I like it, but we each have a flashlight next to the bed. If we lose power, it could result in a nasty fall or bruise.
