Thank you for reporting this street light issue. Could you please provide us with the pole numbers of the lights in question? At that point we can evaluate the lighting design and see if there is anything that can be done to rectify the situation.
Thank you,

Thank you for providing the pole numbers. I have forwarded this to our Engineering Dept. for Review.
Update to follow...

Thanks for the quick reply. Here's a link to the IDA page reviewing how light pollution, and in particular blue light emitting LED's, harm human health and the environment:

The page also shows shielding options, which I think is probably what we're looking at here. Thanks for your help.

I completely agree with this. My neighbors on Ferguson Avenue had to move their bedroom to the other side of the house. We don't need to light up everything in sight...just the street. Maybe if lights were lower and with more top shielding it would help.

I believe this issue has been addressed. If there are other issues with street lights being too bright, please create a new ticket so we can move it to the front of the list.

I'm sorry, but the issue has not been addressed. The same lights as noted above are still throwing unshilelded, blinding glare into my yard and house. The light across the street from me (57 Brierwood Ln.) lights up my (and my neighbors') entire front yard like it's daylight. This blinding, excessive light has been proven to harm plant and animal health and growth, and to disrupt human sleep.

But there's more. Excessive night lighting actually makes neighborhoods less safe, not more. Drivers are blinded by the glare, and the deep shadows provide cover for criminals. It makes an evening walk (or just stepping into your yard) a miserable experience, and forget about stargazing.

These lamps must be dimmed and shielded. It's a matter of human, animal, and plant safety and health, and quality of life. Many, many people are complaining about this, and rightly so. It may seem like a trivial issue, but it's not, and it must be corrected.

Thank you Steven, I apologize that this issue has not been addressed. I will re-introduce it to our Street lighting Engineers.

Hi,
Best practices would indicate that lamps should be in the 2700K range as well. Anything higher on the Kelvin scale emits far too much blue light - that same blue light that has shown to have deleterious effects on our sleep and health from our screens. ALL street lights that are being upgraded to LED should be in the 2700K range (warm light) and should be shielded and positioned so as to not invade private yards and houses. Let's get Burlington into the 21st century of lighting and become a Dark Sky Community! https://www.darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/communities/
Thank you,
