Description of Project Ustintated Cost
As we have discussed previously, we have a condition at Salas Park that we
consider dangerous and one that needs to be rectified. When the ballpark
lights are on, because of the way the park is laid out certain streets
west of the park are considered dangerous in that drivers coming down the
street heading east toward the park have their vision completely blurred
from the glare of the lights.
We have looked at a number of solutions and the only thing that we could
come up with that was fairly inexpensive, but we hope absolutely fool -proof,
is to create a system 170 feet long, using telephone poles with cables to
hold a plastic screen. We feel this will break up the glare.
We have looked at the possibility of putting shades over the lights and we
h&ve looked at the possibility of getting trees that were 35 feet tall that
could be put there as a screen. The first item would not work and the
second item was too expensive. We feel that by installing what we are
suggesting and planting trees in 15 -gallon containers, in four or five years
