Resposta esperada

Model answer: The author's main argument is that installing LED pathway lighting made the park safer and more usable at night. Two pieces of evidence supporting this are: (1) the increase in evening visitor counts from 45 to 120 per night, showing greater use after lighting was added; and (2) the drop in reported nighttime incidents from nine to two and parents’ statements that they feel safer, which indicate improved safety and community confidence. These data and testimony together support the claim that lighting improved both safety and access.
