Shoshana - Chuck had posted his question following my question to him, so I can answer your question. A friend of mine lives on the boundary of the old Cottonwood Mall property. About a month ago, he sent me a link to the proposed development plan that is under consideration by Holladay City. ( I was surprised to see areas that appear not much wider than a lawn mower are considered "open space".) As an immediate neighbor to the project, he has several concerns about how it will impact him - building height, population density, traffic, shopping availability, open space, noise, parking, lighting, etc. He was unable to attend the first hearing, but did make it to the second one. We talked about it for the first time on Friday. In the course of that conversation, after discussing the issues that are much more pressing for him, I was the one who brought up the topic of light pollution. He said the project managers had quoted some specs regarding light intensity per area, but in terms that laymen can't relate to. I offered to see if there are some local people that have a better understanding of just how bright this development will be, which led to my question to Chuck, and his subsequent inquiry to this group. So, in a sense, I saw an opportunity to expand the conversation a little more toward light pollution, find a source for questions that were raised, and maybe alert people with a better understanding of this issue that the design of this project may yet be influenced.
