Committee backs six‑month pilot for temporary lighting at Polo Park basketball courts
Summary
The committee approved a favorable recommendation to install temporary tower lighting at the Polo Park basketball courts on a six‑month pilot, using existing equipment and park ranger staffing; staff will evaluate results after the pilot period.
The committee voted 3–0 to return a favorable recommendation for a six‑month pilot installing temporary tower lighting at Polo Park basketball courts during the darker months.
Staff said the pilot will use an existing tower light and park ranger roving to manage operations and that there is no capital cost for deployment of the pilot. A staff member explained the temporary lighting addresses seasonal time‑change concerns and allows the city to evaluate impacts on neighbors before any permanent change.
Commissioners supported the pilot and emphasized evaluation after six months. The committee directed staff to proceed and report back with findings and recommendations for permanent or adjusted lighting based on observed impacts and community feedback.
