Join us Thursday, May 15th at 6pm at Arvada Library for a presentation by Dane Sanders to discuss Master Planning Light for Environment and Social Justice.

This presentation will discuss how the public engagement process and GIS data sources were utilized to develop the guideposts and comprehensive strategies of the Salt Lake City Street Lighting Master Plan. As this Street Lighting Master Plan is implemented over time, the street and pedestrian lighting will transition to utilizing dark sky strategies by reducing upward light, applying warmer color temperatures based on adjacent land uses, adaptive dimming strategies, and controlling light trespass.
