Street Lighting

Street Lighting projects that have moved through the South End have drawn interest on SeeClickFix and contact to the NPAs, with neighbors generally commenting on large increases in the light reaching bedroom windows.

It is hard to see the sky now, and the light shines brightly through my bedroom window at night making it more difficult to sleep. Is there any chance they could be replaced with bulbs that are about 1/3 as bright?

Why is my street lit up like someone is planning night construction? The light level is ridiculous for this or any other neighborhood. Would love to dim this by about 80%.
