closed: Resolved #207523

Nuisance Lights:

Other: I am a resident assistant in Eigenmann Hall right across the street from this convenience store. In the past there (just two months ago) there weren’t any issues with their lights. However, right before students winter break the convenience store installed these new bright white lights. These light shine into my room, making it hard to sleep at night, in addition, while driving and walking it makes it difficult and distracting to drive and cross streets on the roads when the white lights are shining in your eyes. Similar to white high-beams on an interstate highway shining in your eyes in the dark, that is what these remind me of. These lights make it very difficult to sleep in my room, operate along these roads, and walk as I did before (especially now that it gets darker in the day sooner). I’ve had complaints from residents on lower floors of Eigenmann Hall about these lights as they begin returning to the building.

For inspection near a dorm on campus regarding a potential private property violation adjacent off campus. The address reported was not properly tagged. We can take a look at if we can see this, otherwise we will need a reported address for the complaint.

Lights appear to be on private property. Would Planning and Transportation be able to inspect?
