Dear Mr. Campbell:
I live on the southwest corner of Castlebury Court and Sandy Lake Road. As you are
probably aware, the streetlight that was also on this corner was recently removed as it was
blocking access to the wheelchair accommodation area. I suspect that the light was not
replaced because of the pending installation of the lighting in the median of Sandy Lake
Road .
This lighting is now operative and is ineffective in providing sufficient illumination to the area
where the streetlight was removed. I perceive that this is the case for two reasons. First, the
lighting in the Sandy Lake Road median is aimed downward, and second, there is no lighting
pole directly adjacent to the Castlebury Court intersection. The original streetlight's removal
seems to be creating a hazard for pedestrians crossing at night even now, and the
Castlebury Court -Sandy Lake Road intersection is dimly lit making it, and the signage, hard
to see it for drivers unfamiliar with the area.
Accordingly, it is requested that the original streetlight be replaced and located in a manner
that will not interfere with the wheelchair access ramp.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Ronald L. Johnson
