QuikTrip Expansion at 21st and Harvard

FYI:

Recently while at this store I noticed that they did not install protruding lights, as many of us thought they had in violation of the PUD.  Instead they had merely not installed the ceiling yet.  The lights are now flat with the awning and don't seem to disburse light nearly as badly as before.

They did indeed change out the non-conforming lights with flat ones a week or so ago.

It seemed COT Inspections had a flawed understanding of "shielded" when the drop-lens 'Scottsdale' lights initially went up.  The manufacturer sells those lights with an option which consists of extending a small part of the reflector behind the refractive lens to steer more light in one direction.  Since the manufacturer referrs to that option as a "shield" city inspections was interpreting lights so equipped as being "shielded".
Since shielding refers to performance rather than manufacturer's claims, the Scottsdales were no-go since their light was spilling copiously over their property line into drivers eyes and residences.

CF beat me to the punch, but I was waiting for them to clean the construction up a bit before posting a much more flattering photo than the earlier one with the protruding lights.
