Description

This request is regarding the streetlight directly across from 1315 NE 7th Terrace (I believe it is Pole 19211, I can confirm). Within the past year the bulb was replaced and now the light is substantially brighter than all of the other lights on the street and is currently shining brightly in my window every night.

I had contacted the city previously regarding this issue and they indicated the issue was due to a new bulb and didn't offer any modifications. However, I just saw someone else request a shield be place to limit the light to solely focusing on the street and not surrounding properties and their request was fulfilled.

While I do appreciate the attempt at safety, without a deflector limiting the pole's range to around the street it instead creates a situation where it feels like there is a full moon every night or a flashlight shining directly into my window. Other houses in the immediate vicinity are shielded from the excessively bright light.

Please add a shield to the light.
