Across the city we will replacing existing street light fixtures with LED fixtures (the lights, not the poles). The energy savings will more than offset the cost of the program. In 2019, we are replacing about 500 light fixtures. This project could take a handful of years to get through the entire city.
Our contractor finished the first grouping of lights in East Tosa (from 60th to 68th, north of North Avenue and south of Center St.).
They are next moving to the north side of the city. They will be in a residential area:
- north of Congress, south of Hampton, east of Mayfair Rd, west of 100th St.
- north of Burleigh, south of Keefe Ave, east of Mayfair Rd, west of the river
There will be minimal impact in the area. As the electrician is replacing one fixture, a truck or trailer may be blocking a driveway for 15 minutes.
