Title:
Consider the Addition of Street Lights in our Industrial Area
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to investigate the installation of additional street lights in our industrial areas.
Background:
Staff received a complaint from a local business owner about vandalism on his property and felt part of the cause was lack of adequate street lighting near his business. Staff did an inventory of street lighting in the industrial area and found that lighting could be improved at several key intersections. Street lights are often used to help make motorists more aware of an approaching intersection and provide some basic illumination to the neighborhood. A map will be presented at the meeting to show the locations of the requested lights in the industrial park.
