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.
Recent remodel of the rental property - the side yard lights were changed from baffled can lights to security lights which now illuminate our backyard. Would you please advise the property owner or management to have them aim the lights down or reinstall the baffled lights?
Buy now installed crazy bright lights on side of building. Please remove
This light was recently installed, and it has caused me to be unable to sleep in my own bedroom despite curtains. My back yard is almost entirely illuminated (see image). I believe this constitutes a light trespass as defined in Bloomington city ordinance section 20.04.090 section (4) and lacks proper shielding as outlined in section (5)(A).
Lights too bright at this marathon. Too many lights visible everywhere and glare.
Light trespass glare unshielded element
Really bright floodlights above the back door are on all night long and are shining on the alley and the backyards of 4 other houses!
This place was lit up like a 7-11 all night! Lights in violation of city code - unshielded, visible element causing extreme glare and documented light trespass. This is disruptive to rhythms of bats and other animals, and it is a nuisance to neighbors. Irresponsible owners. Please enforce
re: case 205523, the light is on the ground directly by their sign which is just uphill of the sidewalk on moores pike, not far west of clarizz.
