e Deviation from Standard Care: Modifying lighting in a community with no sidewalks, where seniors must share the narrow road with vehicles, requires prioritizing pedestrian safety over skyward shielding. Conclusion and Requested Action While we respect the intent of this new lighting code, the fully shielded standard is an engineering mismatch that strips away light from the human body. Our solid top lamppost head design already solves the problem of upward light pollution. To protect our residents from physical harm and to protect the Condominium from catastrophic personal injury liability, we respectfully request we must maintain our current solid-top, translucent sided lamppost system. It is the only configuration that ensures a senior resident on a sidewalk-free road can be seen by their neighbors and oncoming traffic.
