The Planning Commission just confirmed they are denying the permit for those stadium lights. This win belongs to every neighbor who joined the association and pushed back against this plan. Stay vigilant because we will continue monitoring any future land use proposals in our area.

Final supporters
We the neighbors of Saint Ignatius College Preparatory, strongly oppose the installation of four permanent, 90ft tall, football field stadium lights. These lights are proposed to be in use potentially 150 nights a year and often until 9-10 pm. They will be used to host night time games, practices, and a number of other sports activities. In addition, one of the light poles will hold 5G Verizon wireless equipment.
These permanent lights will bring unprecedented nighttime noise, traffic, parking congestion, litter, and pre-post game celebrations to our quiet residential neighborhood ~~ bringing an end to quiet evenings in our own homes. No more quiet family dinners, watching TV in our own living rooms, or being able to put our children to bed early. Not to mention, the eyesore of 90ft poles towering over our neighborhood 24/7.
We urge the SF Planning Commission to deny this permit and insist Saint Ignatius (like other SF High Schools) continue their sports programs during daylight hours.

The Planning Commission is reviewing our initial opposition and needs to see that this neighborhood remains united against these towers. Send an email to your City Representative today and demand they push for a public hearing on this project.

The momentum behind this effort is undeniable and proves our neighborhood refuses to be ignored. Email your city planning representative today to demand they block the permit for these stadium lights.

Unwanted disruption. Many non-speaking English long time residents are opposed to these lights as well and do not know how to voice their concerns. Don’t interfere with the residents who actually live here.
We live in this neighborhood for the peace and quiet. I’m completely supportive of SI Prep school, but do not support bright stadium lights and noise at night on a regular basis. Please find another venue to host regular sports events in this manner. We need our peace and quiet time. Thank you for your consideration.
Planning Commissioners, please authentically hear our concerns. I have never opposed a project in this neighborhood until now. We are deeply concerned about the impacts of these lights to our community. Please do not allow this intensified use and these structures that are obscenely out of scale for our residential neighborhood. Thank you.
We don't want or need these 90" high lights. The games only cause disruption to our neighborhood. Cars double parked, blocking driveways, loud speaker announcing and crouds making a lot of noise and leaving garbage around our neighborhood. St Ignatius high school says they are good neighbors but this shows no consideration of us at all.
We live across the street on 41st and Quintara. When there are games, there is excessive congestion and noise in the neighborhood. Cars are already blocking part of my driveway! For this reason, I am against installing permanent staduim lights at the school. -Priscilla Fong
No lights
There is no community benefit with these lights and huge disturbance to neighbors. SI claims to be "good neighbor" NOT!!

No lights = minimal night games = peaceful and quiet neighborhood. There is no misconception of the project, there should be a new traffic and parking studies. The additional lights shifts the use of main field to later times in the day/week, so how does it not affect parking/traffic? Do not get deceived by SI's letter.
