City Council Explores Innovative Dark Sky Lighting Solutions

Battle Ground’s city council is moving towards becoming a Dark Sky-compliant community, aiming to reduce light pollution with new lighting regulations for future developments. During a meeting on March 17, Public Works Director Mark Herceg presented the benefits of Dark Sky technology, which focuses on implementing strict outdoor lighting ordinances and educating residents. While existing cobra-head streetlights already meet Dark Sky standards, retrofitting the acorn-style fixtures would require costly replacements without current funding options. Council members expressed support for adopting Dark Sky standards for new builds, while emphasizing the need for grant funding to upgrade older streetlights. The discussion also included potential advancements in smart streetlight technology that could enhance lighting efficiency and functionality. The council plans to pursue financial assistance for retrofitting existing lighting while exploring connections with the local utility’s communication network.
