Full-Cutoff Light Fixture in Del Rey |
Non-Cutoff Light Fixture in Playa Vista |
I was just walking along the "Playa Vista Riparian Corridor"a rerouted version of the original Centinela Creek. I noticed that construction workers that were restoring a former hanger that was once owned by Howard Hughes that was adjacent to the Riparian Corridor did not pick up their trash. The trash was allowed it to drift into the Corridor as well as a neighboring park. Hopefully, it will be picked up.
Another story, I have been annoyed for a long period of time by the fact that Playa Vista has installed street lights that produce heavy light pollution (see image). This is going against what the city of LA has been trying to do for the past few years-- use full cut-off LED light fixtures to help conserve energy and to reduce light pollution. The developers have been continuously stating the idea that Playa Vista is a "green development." However, they are being anti-green by using the light polluting, non-cutoff, and energy wasting sodium vapor light fixtures not only in the older Phase 1, but in the new Phase 2 as
well.
