Mulholland Drive in Indian Spring?

Several streets in our neighborhood have streetlights that are blinking eerily on and off - or flickering down to a low-level of luminance, making me feel like I'm in a David Lynch movie when I take a walk at night.  I'm not sure whether the onus is on the County to inspect these lights from time to time to know when they're fizzling, or whether the onus is on us to report them.  But report them we shall.  ISCA Board member Tony Hausner provided this link to the Department of Public Works and Transportation http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/trstmpl.asp?url=/content/dpwt/operations/traffic/Streetlights.asp
which includes some hi-tech options (e.g., a Geographic Information Systems map where you can zoom in to the streetlight in question) for reporting malfunctioning streetlights that actually look a lot more fun than the old way... of picking up the phone and enduring a painful voice mail loop or waiting on hold for a live human being.  I'm going to give it a try and report the Lynch-like streetlamps on Brewster and Saginaw and see how fast they get fixed.

Hello Walter. I live on Brewster and that street light at Brewster/Saginaw was driving me nuts. About 2 weeks ago I went to the MOCO website and reported it, complete with pole number and cross streets. It was fixed in about a week...about what the site estimated.
