Parks & Playgrounds

The lights installed at the RCA Park Pickleball Courts are incredibly bright and send light hundreds of feet into the surrounding park, the woods near the park, and the surrounding homes close to the park. It is a real disruption to those of us who live near the park and I am also concerned about the disruption it has on local wildlife. Would it be possible to have the lights adjusted in some way to reduce the overall light pollution either by lowering their output or changing the angle?
I have photos of the issue I can send if that would be helpful.

U Report # 210060
Hi again,
I'm following up from yesterday's U Report. Duke responded immediately with the information that the wire is a cable line. Duke recommended that I get back to my local Bloomington government because since I've owned this house I have never had cable service, therefore I do not know whose line it belongs to. Do you have any record as to who owns/is responsible for this abandoned cable line? And is there a statute of limitations for an abandoned line - can I cut it down myself? What is the risk of danger if I do so?
Any insight that you can provide is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Elida C. Behar

Can you PLEASE repaint the arrows on this roundabout and put out a notice/newspaper article about proper use of roundabout usage/etiquette. The amount of time I have been honked at and flipped off since the Fullerton connection has been built is ridiculous. People (who are in the wrong) get so angry. I use this multiple times a day and have a son who is about to start driving. If there hasn’t been a wreck yet, there will be. Or worse.
