uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #210263

Nuisance Lights:

Other: There is an old light pole half way along the alley with a flood light high up that glares light across several lots and shines into my house and porch (748 S. Morton St.). This is not a Duke Energy pole. It is only identifiable by a number 4, about to fall off, and an inspection medallion dated 2003. The pole right at Morton, to which it is connected, says it is owned by Public Service Co. of Indiana, pole number punched into metal plaque 1627-709 and maybe also punched notches for Customer and Owned. An inspection medallion that says OSMOSE insp. 2018. D. This simplest way to end the light leakage would be to remove the light. If properly shielded to prevent the light leakage of course that would be okay too. I have photos, but I can't figure out how to add the file to this UReport. If you could send me an email address I can send the photos as a Word file. I would be glad to meet someone from the city and show them the source of the problem. Thanks for your help. best, Jean Lave

Planning staff observed a light fixture at the southwest corner of the building at 720 S Morton Street which is not properly shielded. We will be in contact with the property owners regarding adjusting this light to bring it into compliance.

Joy, Cheyenne is out of the office so I took a look at. I cannot see a pole with a flood fixture on it along the east/west alleyway. This would not be a City leased light through Duke Energy. Thanks, Chris

Can you see if this is a public pole and light in the alley? If not, please reassign to Joy for inspection. Thank you!
