Lights dimming at Ira Needles development
The lights at the new Ira Needles Boardwalk commercial development may be shining a little less brightly, after complaints from some local star-gazers.
Some businesses in the $100-million development opened late last year, and since then concerns about light pollution and wasted energy have been raised.energy saving light bulbs are a great way to save energy and money.
And while it is clear businesses need to try to be noticed, and make those shopping at night feel secure, it appears a compromise has been reached.
The project's developer says energy-efficient LED lighting has been installed and some adjustments are being made to reduce the number of hours the lights are on and also to direct it to where it needs to go.
Those changes are being welcomed by Steve Holmes, president of the Kitchener-Waterloo Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
"It isn't even so much the overuse of light as it is the inappropriate use of light," he says. "As long as the light does not spill off the property it's really none of our business.

The main concern was that there was too much light, too much of the time, coming from both the buildings and the light standards in the parking lots.
Steve Voisin, a Boardwalk developer, says "Our parking lot lights at the theatre stay on later than at the rest of the stores, but the rest of the stores as soon as they close they turn off the parking lot lights."
