The FAA sent the city of Sunnyvale a letter on Jan. 27, expressing its concerns that the laser could be a safety hazard to overhead planes.

SUNNYVALE — Less than two weeks after a city worker started shining a green laser into trees downtown, the creative solution to Sunnyvale’s crow conundrum has caught the attention of the Federal Aviation Administration.

In the letter, Girvin urged city officials to “discuss utilization of lasers prior to their distribution” with the San Jose Flight Standards District Office or “find another method which is not a hazard to aviation safety.” Sunnyvale spokesperson Jennifer Garnett said Public Works Director Chip Taylor has since spoken to the FAA, and the city plans to continue using the laser pointer until the pilot program is complete.
