Here's the maps of the possible camera locations. See my previous email about precise lightpole locations.

These maps have o's for lightpoles (which are each labeled with their utility number) and x's for trees that are in the way for any lightpoles line of sights. It's a little ghetto, I know, it was hot, and google maps was not kind to me. Now, initially I wanted to use the plain map view of Google Maps, because it's cleaner, but it was wrong. Really, really wrong. So I pulled the satellite view, and just ignored the terribly labeled and marked street signs. For a laugh, notice that Champions Ave runs right through the football stadium. *sigh*. In any case, I made the labels relevant to the satellite imagery, rather than the street labels. It makes sense as long as you ignore the labels for most of the streets. The street signs are labeled pretty much in order, except for a few aberrations. It might be hard to read some of them (my handwriting isn't great), so I'll list them here, as well. In map 1, from what Google maps calls "G St" to champion ave, the labels are B47-49, and across the street is A12. Next, going down the street, is B50, and then across the street from that is A1. Continuing down the street, we have C32-39 lining the street along R3. Along R2, the labels continue as C40-C46, with this numbering ending at Williamson Rd. After Williamson, the numbering starts at G258, and continuing onto map 2, carries on with G259-G262, passing the entrance to the two commuter lots, we hit G263 and G264, which for some reason have G160 next in line. Passing what G-maps calls Hillside St (not the correct name at all..), we have G265-G271, which ends at the intersection with Cherry Rd. In terms of analysis, you'll notice that except for A12 and A1, which are in the Jervey parking lot (but close enough to the street to perhaps be useful), there are no street lights on the far side of the road. The light poles at this end of the road (top of map 1) are all pretty much in the open, very few obstacles are in any of their ways clear past R3. Once we hit R2, you'll notice it gets crowded (C40 is a maybe, C41 is screwed. clear through C45). This area is bad for trees, very little could be used from this area, except for the poles near the intersection with Williamson (C46, G258). Continuing on with map 2, some of the light poles along the commuter lots (G259, G260, G261) could be used for one direction (the direction from Cherry Rd to Littlejohn) of view, but definitely not the other, and the line of sights here still aren't great. After this, the trees thin out near G263, G264, and G160, but still aren't perfect, and then G265-G267 are completely clear. G268 is screwed mostly, G269 and G270 are obscured by some trees between them (but have good views in the other directions) and then G271 is pretty much clear to end our little journey. Let me know if you need anything else with these weaksauce maps. Nate

Alright, there are two maps of the relevant parts of
Perimeter Rd attached. These maps have o’s for lightpoles (which are each
labeled with their utility number) and x’s for trees that are in the way
for any lightpoles line of sights. It’s a little ghetto, I know, it was
hot, and google maps was not kind to me. Now, initially I wanted to use the plain map view of Google
Maps, because it’s cleaner, but it was wrong… Really, really wrong.
