Resident seeks relief from bright LED streetlight; council seeks safety balance

Resident Helaine Truthstone asked the council to turn off a streetlight across from her property; staff reported Lane Electric replaced a sodium lamp with an LED in March 2025 and opened a work order to shield or redirect the light. Council expressed concern about public safety if the light were turned off.
Westfir resident Helaine Truthstone asked the council to turn off the streetlight on pole V14R13 on Westoak Road to reduce light pollution affecting her property.
City Recorder Nicole Tritten told the council she contacted Lane Electric, which confirmed the sodium lamp had been replaced with an LED in March 2025 and placed a work order to shield or redirect the light. Council members expressed sympathy for Truthstone’s complaint but said they were concerned about public-safety implications of removing the light entirely.
