<br />The current standard for priority street lights consists of placing a 150 watt high pressure sodium lamp <br />and cobra head luminary with a flat glass lens on a wood or fiberglass pole. This is usually <br />accomplished by placing the appropriate fixture on an existing pole, so there is no standard for which <br />side of street it is placed, or on which intersecting leg. <br /> <br />Current policy establishes a $15,000 annual budget to address concerns and requests for priority street <br />lights as they arise. As problem areas are identified they are brought before the Public Works <br />Committee for discussion. The installation and maintenance of priority street lights is done under <br />contract with Connexus Energy at an approximate cost of$1000. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff is recommending the installation of a priority street light at the intersection ofNowthen Blvd. and <br />173rd Avenue NW to remain consistent with current City policy. Additionally, discussion could lead to <br />consideration of a revised policy evaluating other factors not currently referenced in City street lighting <br />policy. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that staffbe directed to install a priority street light at the <br />intersection ofNowthen Blvd. and 173rd Avenue NW. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Resident letter <br />Current City street lighting policy <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />PW: 1/20/09 <br /> <br />-170- <br />
