This has not been fixed and I have gone into the first floor office of PMC on Church St in the mall and they don't seem to understand how bad this is. The problem is that the light is way too bright as if they are doing constructtion on that building, which they are not. Does anyone in fhis city even care about this or is everyone letting the developers with money kick them around and do whatever the he'll they want? There must be some kind of light code because all of the nine squares are in danger of looking like a parking lot. Maybe that's the town plan ? I don't see chapel St where Yale's property's are like this... Or broadway! The lighting there is even and to the point by lighting their store fronts and signage not the whole block. What a shame that New Haven doesn't seem to care what these Big developers do and cheapen the look with nasty lights and plastic none creative signage ... Take lesson from Yale as to how create a hip coherent inviting environment to shop in, unlike a Kohls or Walmart parking lot. Wake up New Haven before there is so much light noise that you cannot sleep.

Robert - i haven't noticed that these are blinding for drivers - but i did notice that there was a lot more light than there was 6 months ago. if you have a chance to take a picture to show what you mean, that could help the SCF community rally support to your ticket.

the next time i'm near that area at night i'll take a look as well and hopefully i'll "see the light" - pardon the pun

Thanks for the reply Doug. I took some photos and people are getting @#$% about these lights. They are blinding and too bright. I am sure if you stand on Crown towards them, you will "see the lights"

more photos of the new PMC stadium lights

Another photo

another PMC light photo.

robert - i think they are fairly bright as well, and just need to be pointed downwards. additionally, there appeared to be one out on friday night above the residential entrance on crown (if memory serves)

rush hour traffic will be in the dark after this weekend; i'll make the call this AM to the property owner/manager

i left a message on the property manager's voicemail today to angle the lights down more

Doug thanks for working on this... I really appreciate your taking notice and actually making an effort to correct it.

This is still a problem .

This is still a problem.

Robert,

I'm leaving a message now for the property managers again; I'll try to make a visit to their office at the old mall today/tomorrow

best,

The light over the wine thief is still facing down Crown St. They are obnoxious halogen lights that do nothing but wash the street like a parking lot or construction site, period. I have a feeling this will never be adjusted and its a shame. The Church St area should take example of the visual class that Yale's upper Chapel and Broadway has. Just look at the street between College and York on Chapel. The lighting is inviting and creatively controlled as is the signage. It amazes me that very few people think that these over bright stadium lights are not the wrong kind of illumination for a beautiful historic city. I guess i am going to have to learn to live with this silly amateur lighting.

robert - i found out last week that the light over the wine thief is not controlled by PMC, but instead is operated by the Omni. i had not, with all of the holidays, had a chance yet to stop by the omni and talk to someone in operations. i will try my best to do that this weekend and see if we can't get it tilted downwards.

Thanks Doug, that would be great...

Still an issue. Just stop at the light on Crown and Church and look up in front of you. They are still facing down Crown St. Just shift them downward to illuminate the sidewalk and not blind the drivers and the problem would be solved.

Not fixed yet.!

I am not sure why this light has not been adjusted downward . I think that it is ruining the look of the entire area around the new college. It will remain a construction site forever. is there anyone in city hall that actually monitors anything to do with obnoxious signage and over bright lighting on the streets? Or is it a job waiting to be filled?

NOT FIXED YET. IT'S A WONDERFUL CONSTRUCTION LIGHT THAT WASHES THE AREA IN A VIBRANT WHITE LIGHT THAT BLINDS YOU WALKING DOWN CROWN ST. ITS PERFECT, PLEASE DON'T CHANGE IT BUT ADD MORE BRIGHT STADIUM LIGHTS SO THAT THE STADIUM PARKING EFFECT IS MORE COMPLETE. A classic example of if you can't beat em, join em.

i left a message today with the omni engineering department and with PMC property to figure out whose responsibility this is. this is my 3rd time doing both of these, but the first time i was passed along to the head of engineering at the omni. hopefully we will get this done!

Robert/Rob - thanks for being persistent, and I'm sorry it has taken so long to address. If it were a city building, this would have been handled quite quickly and differently.

Best,

Again i have to thank you Doug for responding to this Issue. I am only persistent about it because i feel that it alters the look of the area that I really enjoy. I feel that if the lighting was more controlled that the new developments in the area would really stand out and that it would also set a great standard for creative business lighting and signage. I do appreciate your attention and know that you understand what i am trying to convey here. I don't like complaining but it really needs to be addressed. Thanks. Robert

i spoke with engineering at the omni yesterday (they called me back!). and they said it is likely their issue and they'd address it yesterday or today.

here's hoping! next time i'm walking around down there - i'll check them out. and please close it if it's (finally) taken care of!

any change robert?

It's technically illegal to light anything other than your own property in New Haven. Report to LCI --it works sometimes, though not 100%.

I want to thank Doug H for being so persistent with this matter of the problem of the Crown St lighting. He finally was able to get it resolved and Crown St is still well lit but not blinding as it was. Thank you to Doug and See Click Fix for helping the community !
Robert.

Thanks Rob! and thanks for your persistence - you made all the difference!
