Nuisance Lights
912 E Maxwell LN
- Case Date:
- 6/18/2025
At dusk, on Tuesday June 17, a new floodlight was turned on near the corner of Woodlawn and Maxwell, at the Bryan Park tennis courts. This flood light points directly at the back of 916 E Maxwell and my home 912 E Maxwell. This light is comically bright and blindly. I support all efforts to maximize the safety of my community members using the tennis courts, the walking path and the parking lot on Woodlawn, but this floodlight is too bright for our neighborhood and pointed in the wrong direction. This light was on past midnight. I am asking that this light is pointed in another direction (towards the parking lot perhaps?) I have included two photos from the standpoint of my back door to my yard, where I can see nothing but the blinding light, and a photo of the back of the house, showing how bright it shines on the south facing side of the house. My neighbors at 916 have their entire south facing side of their house lit up by the blinding light.

My whole bedroom is lit up from the nuisance light next-door that is in violation of the City of Bloomington code, yet there is no enforcement. There is light trespass as well as glare from the unshielded light which has a totally exposed element.
Please enforce with all owners of this property.

At the NW corner of Grant and 8th there is a shrub that blocks the view of oncoming traffic when one is waiting at the intersection on Grant heading south. The traffic on 8th is sometimes quite fast, and there are often also parked cars nearby make this a dangerous intersection. It is especially bad during summer when the shrubs are in leaf. They should not just be trimmed but instead removed completely from the corner.

I am a school bus driver for Bloomington Public Schools. The line of sight view when stopped at the intersection of 102nd and Lyndale Ave is obstructed by a few branches when looking to the north. At my last check, a large limb has fallen, but some cleanup is still needed to give a clear view of traffic to drivers sitting up higher in a bus or truck.
Your help is most appreciated.
