The residents of the even-numbered side of Homestead Avenue in Holyoke can finally enjoy some peace and quiet as the floodlights that were once shining brightly in their backyards have been dimmed. The decision to reduce the brightness of the lights came after multiple complaints from residents about the disruption to their sleep and privacy.
The strong floodlights had been installed to improve safety and security in the area, but they ended up causing more harm than good. Residents reported that the lights were so bright that it felt like daylight in their backyards, making it difficult for them to relax and sleep at night.
City officials listened to the concerns of the residents and took action to address the issue. By dimming the lights, they were able to strike a balance between safety and residents’ quality of life. The decision has been met with relief and gratitude from the affected residents, who can now enjoy their outdoor spaces without the harsh glare of the floodlights.
