Ok, tangental, but related question. The city replaced the street lights out in front of my place with these superbright LED lights and they are crazy bright. Like I don't need to turn on lights in my house anymore bright. Does anyone know who to reach out to to change the street light to a bulb with less lumens than the sun? Has anyone else experienced this? It's like being in front of someone with those insane blue headlights but... on my couch or making dinner or trying to sleep.

Boston Public Works is the division that probably changed the lights but to get them altered/dimmed, you would most likely need to go through the Public Improvement Commission. My suggestion would be to find a contact for the commission, most likely a clerk or secretary, and ask them what process you would have to go through to get the lights changed. An offhand guess would be that you will need to create a petition, have as many people sign it from your street as you can and then get a hearing in front of the commission. I have worked with many different town commissions and can say from experience, Boston’s are some of the worst to deal with. I wish you luck as the process may be even more involved then my guess.
