I believe the lighting is EXEMPLARY as it provides enough lighting for pedestrians and bicylists.

Also given the fact that this area has a late crowd scene (theater, restaurants, bars) it is IMPERATIVE the lighting is good as it is for personal safety reasons from vandals and for drivers to more easily see and not run over people crossing the street.
I say we please keep them as they are.

Thank you for using SeeClick Fix to report this. The City will examine this request.

May I suggest at least taking out the light bulbs on every other one since this was already done?

If u care about the environment...please send complaint to Agoura Hills City Council and The Acorn newspaper

I agree the lights are too bright and the light source should have been shielded. Substituting a dimmer bulb, with gas light effect,might help.

I believe there is still the issue of are they in violation of the codes.
As homeowners if we put up exterior lighting that was in violation, we would have to rectify the situation.

Appears the municipal code sections this attorney refers to are for lights on private property and do not apply to street lighting. We would have no street lights in the city if they were held to the same standards as lighting located on private property. Also, Chapter 5 of the Agoura Village Specific Plan refers to lighting on private property. The lighting for the street is in Chapter 6, page 90 of the plan. http://www.ci.agoura-hills.ca.us/home/showdocument?id=13167

Farmer Henry has it right but clearly the city did not follow its own standards and put pedestrian lighting on the streets and not street lighting by mistake no doubt and now are leaving it and not doing anything to correct their error! See standards below as they have violated pretty much all of them:( but the worst is that they will defend themselves instead of correct this blunder and horrible scene they created with their lame excuses)...
Lighting The street and pedestrian lighting concept allows for two separate types of lighting fixtures for the Village area. One lighting standard should be used for the roadways and one standard for the sidewalk areas.
• Lighting, fixtures shall incorporate the latest energy-efficient technology for directing light and reducing glare.
• Consider the following factors to reduce light pollution:
(1) The wattage or brightness of the light;
(2) The installation of the fixture and use of shields to minimize light spill;
(3) The type of light - sodium amber lights are softer than metal halide type; and
(4) Placing lights on timers or motion sensors to limit their on-time, as appropriate.
Street lighting Streetlights shall incorporate a decorative light pole and luminare that is consistent in design to help unify the streetscape within the Village.
• Streetlighting shall be Boulevard D650 from Sternberg Lighting located pursuant to engineering recommendations. Pedestrian Lighting • Pedestrian lighting shall be Sternberg Vintage Lighting - ‘Prairie’, Model #1230 with square pole.
• These fixtures shall accommodate banner attachment arms, planter arms and electrical outlets.
• Public sidewalk lights shall be approximately 15 feet in height and placed approximately

Has the lighting situation made any further headway, or are we at a standstill?

stilll the city has done nothing

City of Agoura continues to attempt to destroy our environment by allowing building congloms to make applications for construction interfering with the environment and access to the mountains and oceans Buildings remained without tenants for years and still are virtually empty all along Agoura Road. Changing the City logo to a bulldozer instead of a Hawk or a Oak Tree might be the next step.

William Margolin, You are following the definition of a Troll. Stop Trolling. The city has beautified and improved agoura road a lot. This is a city not a wild national park without any inhabitants. So far they (the city commission) are looking out for Residents of this city very well. I live the closest (1/7-mile) from the area you describe and glad for the changes they are doing. Seriously Live and let live.

Calling names is non productive whatever your opinion maybe. The topic is correct lighting by codes or not.

THE DIMMING OF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT YET RESOLVED- CORNERSTONE DEVELOPMENT IS CANNED AND SOON THE AGOURA ROAD AT KANAN DEVELOPMENTS WILL FOLLOW SUIT - WE DO NOT NEED BRIGHT LIGHTS THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH BETTER LOW DIMMING LIGHTS THAT PROVIDE THE SAME SECURITY WITH LESS GLARE PLEASE DO SOMETHING CITY OF AGOURA

although the light fixtures are so ridiculous for our community not like the great ones put in just west of Kanan and Agoura Road it appears they have reduced the lumens in the fixtures to being only slightly less invasive and yet so unnecessary still ugh PS go to PRISMM@santamonicamountains.org and lend your support and money to STOP THE DEVELOPMENT that will ruin our community and access to the ocean and destroy our serene community with more hotels and retail stores and block access to our beaches and fire routes and destroy indigenous wildlife and fauna...public hearing 7/15/ at city hall in agoura
