Business District Case Studies<br />

Three test sites that represent the range of business district<br />

lighting conditions in Pittsburgh were selected for a more detailed<br />

understanding of existing street lighting conditions:<br />

› Fifth and Forbes Avenue, Downtown Pittsburgh (Central<br />

Business District)<br />

› Carson <strong>Street</strong>, South Side (Mid-Size Business District)<br />

› California Avenue, Brighton Heights (Small Business District)<br />

The sites were subjected to photometric measurements by RCI<br />

research team members from Orfield Laboratories in February<br />

2011. Focus group research on attitudes about business district<br />

street lighting were conducted in April 2011 after preliminary findings<br />

were presented to City Council.<br />

On the following pages the existing conditions of the three<br />

business districts are documented.<br />
