The addition of the stadium lights will be a disruption to our home life. Extending practice into the night is an expansion of the use of the field. The noise at night will be a distraction for our family. This project only benefits SI.

Hi Janny,
We started a Chinese version here:

I'll be posting to NextDoor, and I'm open to any other suggestions as well. Please feel free to share this link as well.

90ft light towers in the neighborhood, 150+ nights a year, til 10pm? S.I. has no respect for the community.

This is harmful to the environment. The fields have operated fine without artificial lights for years and can do so going forward without this.

This will further disrupt a quiet neighborhood and change its character to to an ongoing carnival! Please prevent this from happening!

This effort is fraudulent, disingenuous, and not cognizant of impact to residents adjacent to and in the vicinity of the SI property. Calling the installation of these 90 foot lights, which would be disruptive to all the neighbors around for a significant radius, calling them “essential infrastructure” is simply a ploy to get these lights installed without the consent of the neighbors. I strongly urge the SF planning commission to deny this permit until the proper environmental impact report and voices of the community are heard.

There is nothing about the S.I. project that benefits the residents of our neighborhood. But so much about the project has a negative impact on our quality of life in our homes. I am opposed to the use of these lights which will bring more noise, congestion, and light pollution to the neighborhood in the evenings, which is the one remaining window of time there is a respite here, near the school and public fields.
Planning Commissioners, please do not allow this intensified use and these huge structures which are both out-of-scale for our residential neighborhood! Thank you

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 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.

This change will have a huge effect on the neighborhood and needs to have community input and negotiation. The games must wait until SIP is over and so must this permit.

There is already too much night-time lighting in SF. Night-time lighting is damaging to both people and wildlife.

Do not allow this action to be rammed through without community input! Using the SIP to push through an unpopular project is unconscionable.

Saint Ignatius College Preparatory, in trying to push through their long-objected-to nighttime field use plans at a time when people are struggling with the deadly Covid-19 pandemic and its upheaval of our society and way of life, reveals more than ever the selfishness and callousness of this supposedly Christian organization, and their total disregard for people outside their realm of fiscal endeavors, their total lack of concern and care for their neighbors with whom they share one quiet corner of the Sunset District.
My family lived here long before the Jesuits built their school, in this suburb-within-the-city, this simple residential neighborhood, a peaceful place for family life. We’ve adapted over the years to having this high school less than a block away, with the associated issues of such, from students smoking in doorways to an exasperated parking problem, since many of SI’s students drive themselves to school. Change happens. But giant lights and nighttime activities more than every other day of the year is a step too far. Giant poles towering over anything else as far as the eye can see, light pollution glaring right into living- and bedrooms. The congestion, noise, traffic, litter, at an evening time when people are trying to gather for a family dinner, relax, read, watch tv, when they are trying to go to sleep, this is not neighborly, this is not right. There is no buffer to SI’s field, like there is with other night-use spaces in the city, such as in Golden Gate Park. SI’s football field is literally right across the street from people’s homes. Such is not the place for massive illumination and late-night outdoor events. Like we have, SI must learn to adapt, to live within the scope of its environment. To Love Thy Neighbor.

Not only they poison us with the staunch chemical smell from their artificial turf, but now they want to disturb us more with light pollution and noise pollution
