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.
Nuisance light Completely unshielded, bright light with the element exposed causing glare and light trespass Not facing the street, facing south, on all the time.
Nuisance light prevents peaceful enjoyment of our property due to glare and light trespass of unshielded light on south of this house, not facing the street, shining on our property. City selectively failing to enforce the code: Glare. All lighting fixtures shall be installed so as not to cause glare at or beyond the property line and shall not be aimed toward traffic. Light Trespass. All lighting fixtures shall be installed so that light trespass from any property line, except a property line abutting a public street, shall not exceed two footcandles at a point one meter beyond the property line.
Glare from unshielded light Element exposed Light tresspass
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.
I reported the light at the alley because when it went out they replaced it with a very bright LED light. It is like a spotlight into my backyard and windows. Someone from duke came out at "fixed" it by pointing it down. But it is still way too bright. All of the other light in the neighborhood are a soft ember. There is no reason for this light to be so bright. And actually we don't even need a light here it's at an alley. It is too bright into my backyard and windows at night.
Lighting for Cedar Creek Assisted Living sign is BLINDING at night. I have almost hit a bicyclist, a dog, and a deer turning onto Adams from Tapp Road at the roundabout because the sign lighting sits below the level of the sign. If it was raised up on both sides by 4-6 inches it would hit the sign- which is what it should do, not blind drivers or walkers entering the neighborhood.
