NO To Saint Ignatius Permanent Stadium Lights

I oppose thinking the demands on high school students are high enough already. More light pollution is also undesirable.

Too tall!!! Too bright!!!

We don’t want anymore light pollution. The lights at the soccer fields in GG Park are bad enough. Doesn’t anybody like to look at the stars anymore?

No to lights at SI

I feel that the lights being up until 10pm for “practices” only encourages the students to stay up later, when they should be at home doing homework.

Not necessary!

Bright light, 5G, mass sport events, and disturbing noise are incompatible with the uniqueness of our residential neighborhood that is so close to the nature and wildlife, and is a home to the hard-working people, hard-working homeowners and renters. We deserve peace and respect.

NO Thank you! I am extremely surprised and disappointed that St. Ignatius would be so dismissive of the community the school resides within. I can not understand how a Catholic school can be so uncaring. It The extra pollutants from the noise, bright lights and traffic are the opposite of Cura Personalis, care for the whole person. How does this action teach the young people attending the school the important Jesuit Values?

Light pollution is a global problem.

Pleas listen, consider and join with the people of the neighborhood and do what is right for the residents of this community.

Please listen & truly consider what the people living in this neighborhood are saying, their concerns, how their lives, homelife, their health and childrens health from esposure to electromagnetic waves, will be affected by this SELFISH SI institution that has never shown any form of respect for the the people living in this community, past and present. I remember a sand lot, I remember when the students didn't take over all the parking ( & why hasn't the city made the school supply a parking lot) This institution has been poisoning the neighborhood for 30+ years If this is truly a democratic city than the people living in this community have a powerful say in what is best for thier neighborhood.

NO!

We object the lights and cell tower. Several comments on SI's May 27 letter - they stated "night games/practices are not intended to intensify the use of the lower field."  How can they guarantee they will not use the field more? When they have the lighted field, they will plan even more games, events, and allow use by their affiliates.  Also SI stated " the addition of lights is not to expand the use of the main field but shift the existing uses to later times, meaning night times.  Isn't that even worse?  We do not want lights brighten up the skyline and noise disrupting our neighborhood at night. In additional, SI stated " it will benefit the neighborhood by holding games on Friday nights instead of Saturday afternoon.  We cannot understand how this can be a benefit,  we do not want to come home after a long day of work and still need to find parking, hear all the noise and experience the light pollution disrupting our restful night. Moreover, SI stated "there will not be an expansion of any noise associated with practices and games", we do not see that possible, with night time games,  noise will be more apparent than during the day, and they are going to have a new sound system too!. Lastly, SI tried to compare the game capacity with the number of people on campus for a typical school day, that is totally two different points. Not all students drive to school and during games, families, friends and relatives, mostly will drive, even if carpool, imagine 2000 attendees equal to 500+ cars in this quiet residential neighborhood, will it be quiet and peaceful as it should be?  We doubt.  With all of these comments, we continue to strongly oppose this project!

I am a regular at this spot for the last 12 yrs and deeply concern about theose bright lights, not eco friendly to the animals, ie: birds, people, pets. I know noise, traffic and light are polutions that we don't need in a residential neighborhood. I'm a gardener and I think those lights will throw off the life-cycles of my plants. If my flowers don't flower and my fruits don't fruit what will I do????

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.

I don't want Any Lights and having to deal with night games

No 5G in this neighborhood please! Certainly this magnitude of lighting is not necessary! Please reconsider! THANK YOU@

The number of nights of proposed use is 150 and the use of the lights is being requested until 10 pm. Please ask yourself if you would want this across the street from your home. No permanent lighting should be approved.

NO lights please.

These light stands are MUCH too tall. The number of proposed nighttime events is far too many. No to this project!!
