Reston Letter: Out-of-Scope Lighting

Letter to the Editor

An open letter to Supervisor Catherine Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill):

I am writing to voice my concern, disappointment and disapproval for the installation of the out-of-scope lighting on Cross School Road by Sunrise Valley Elementary School.

The lighting is not suitable for the size of the road and seems to be done without advisement and consult of the community. The lights are very large - highway size lights that, again, are out of scope for the nature of the road and residential community. In comparison - there are no lights on the far more traveled road - Sunrise Valley - that carries far more traffic through South Reston.

The light installation is the latest in the deformation of the neighborhood to include the reduction of trees along the school without replacement landscaping and a pothole filled street.

Please advise on your actions to support this community in stopping the installation of these lights.
