We are asking for signature support if you agree that we don't need a second stadium with 75 foot tall lights right next to the football stadium at the highschool... maybe the shorter 40 foot lights the first stadium previously had or maybe leave it as an overflow practice field as originally communicated. 

Those directly impacted on Hanford Road,  your opinions are crucial. More than 8 of your neighbors have signed. 

Those on Hood Blvd and South Queen Anne Blvd looking at the lights are also needed to weigh in. More than 5 of your neighbors have signed. 

For everyone in the Pennsbury School District community, you are paying for the lights and we would also appreciate your opinion communicated by your signature. 

To the greater United States community, we appreciate your support and standing with us through your signatures as every time any community loses open space, tranquility, and peace to a local government, it creates a precedent to continue the spread of knocking down paradise for parking lots. 

Living on Hood Blvd in Falls Township, I've witnessed the quiet disruption through subtle developments at Pennsbury High School's Stadium and second turf field. The construction, moving stealthily toward a 2nd full stadium with 70+ foot tall LED Sport Stadium lights, promises not community pride, but years of community intrusion that will permanently disrupt our calm, tranquility, peace and drastically alter our community environment. Our neighborhood is increasingly dominated by the unforgiving blue light pollution seeping into our homes now with new and improved roaming cameras and telescoping poles.

Our tax dollars, meant to nourish Pennsbury students' scholastic pursuits, instead prioritize an athletics field for rental to external city and county sports clubs. This cuts deep as our own Pennsbury sports teams find themselves paying more to rent these very fields than the non-tax-paying entities and non-residents, stripping our PSD kids of opportunities meant for their growth.

This petition is aimed at preserving the tranquil charm of our neighborhood and ensuring that our community's resources benefit our students first. Creating a second stadium of such scale not only burdens our ambiance, but reallocates resources away from essential educational ventures.  

Pennsbury is cherished for its academic strengths, yet the current trajectory neglects this legacy in favor of non-resident sports events. It's crucial to redirect funds toward education, infrastructure, and our school community, without extending into unnecessary and invasive developments that pollute our neighborhood.  

The AMA Journal of Ethics highlights a critical concern about the blue wavelengths emitted by LED Sport Stadium lights. Such light is detrimental to various life forms, compromising not only road safety due to glare from unshielded illumination but also affecting personal spaces. Bedrooms infiltrated by this light experience suppressed melatonin production, which undermines sleep quality and duration, increasing people's vulnerability to numerous illnesses.

Adding to this, Spectrum News reports that these LEDs emit harsher white and blue tones. These frequencies disperse more widely in the atmosphere, contributing significantly to outdoor light pollution. This scattered light disrupts the natural night cycle for plants, animals, and humans alike, posing potential environmental and health risks. https://www.businessinsider.com/astronaut-photos-light-polution-led-nasa-esa-2015-8

Artificial lighting, particularly Blue LED light like you experience from your devices and these stadium lights, can have side effects that are indeed concerning. The users of Pennsbury High School must consider whether these new additions are a necessity.

Are brighter lights and expanded fields worth the potential health and environmental costs? Alternately, will these changes contribute positively to our community spirit and student experience without exceeding reasonable bounds?

Let us urge the school authorities to rethink these plans, seeking alternatives that balance the school's desire for improved facilities with the health, safety, and well-being of our community. Call for a reassessment of this project to ensure that all aspects, including environmental, health, and safety concerns, are adequately addressed.

This is a call to action for each resident of Falls Township, Bucks County, PA concerned about responsible development, educational investment, and community impact.  

Sign this petition to urge the responsible bodies to reconsider the excess over improvement of this 2nd turf over flow field (superadequacy obsolescence https://www.theceshop.com/real-estate-appraisal/appraisal-essentials/what-is-functional-obsolescence-in-real-estate-appraisal), making choices that better align with our community's priorities, safety, health, and quality of life.
