[ELECTRON] Underpass lighting project query

[Ben Dembroski]

Thanks for the explanation Marion.

It never occurred to me that the project as described might affect
people's sensitivities to light and motion.  I guess I was imagining
something rather subtle and gentle (and therefore harmless?).  Now that
you mention it, I could see it being a problem.

Of course, I completely agree that the issues surrounding any designs
level of inclusiveness and accessibilties are complex, but that is for
another thread :)

Best,
Ben
