702 Strand Street
Santa Nonica, CA 901.j.05
September 9,1985
Santa Monica City Council
1685 Ma1D street
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Dear Council Members:
During the installation of the lights on Stra~d and
7th Street, Mr. Curtis Arillel promised to put a shleld
on the two lights for me, by my house at 702 Strand.
I spoke to him on April 11, 1985, and I have not seen
them on the street lights yet.
Mr. Scott Smith, who owned 708 Strand Street signed
the netition for installation of lights as the owner
of my house if 702. Is this why I got the two lights,
wh1ch I did not need or want?
I'm enclosing a copy of his signature for the lights.
I hope we can find a way to turn these li~hts off.
Since they have been installed I haven't been able
to sleep properly.
The excessive and glaring lights seem to be having
an adverse effect on DIY health.
Thank you for your consideration.

Clty Clerk

Please reglster our STRONG PROTEST against havlng to pay for
unwanted street lights on Prlnceton Street (hearlng to be held
Se,tember 10, 1985 at 7:30 Ha).
Only now that the lights are set In cement are we asked to
comment. nxperience has sho~n us that the street lights do
not enhance safety, deter crlme, or any of the other thlngs
promlsed (except cost money). Instead, they encourage teen
actlvlty to a later hour, making for a noisier, less tranquil
nelghborhood. There also seems to have been an UPsurge of night
crlme ln our immedlate area Slnce the lights were-lit. Indeed,
we CHALLENGE the SMPD to show statistlcally that there has not
been an lncrease ln nlght CTlme sin~e the lights have been in
use.
In a word, we are OUTRAGED that this expensive boondoggle is
belng fostered upon us, and would llke to go on record as
recommending immedlate removal of the lights and a return to
the nocturnal tranquillty enjoyed by resldents on streets
where night means night.
Sincerely,
