In addition to <br /> the undesirable effects of upward facing lighting,the <br /> hue of lights can also affect wildlife. LED lighting has <br /> become increasingly popular due to its efficiency and <br /> long lifespan. However,these bright lights tend to <br /> emit blue light, which can be harmful to birds, insects, <br /> and fish.The DNR recommends that any projects using <br /> LED luminaries follow the MnDOT Approved Products <br /> for luminaries,which limits the uplight rating to 0,and <br /> the maximum nominal color temperature to 4000K. <br /> MnDOT Right of Way Comment noted. <br /> The residential driveway connecting to MN 47 should <br /> be removed early in the construction process and <br /> should not be used for construction vehicle use.
