I walked outside this evening and was shocked by the new, cold, harsh LED street lights on Wendell Street. Although LED street lighting saves energy, the trade-off in quality of life and health is not worth it. Blue LED lighting is extremely harmful to the sleep patterns of humans and animals.
Other cities that have installed LED street lighting are experiencing extreme backlash from their citizens: ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/bright-idea-new-ottawa-street-lights-will-cause-more-light-pollution-physicist.
I was not asked whether I wanted these terrible lights on my street. Please investigate this issue and help to reverse this misguided policy.
