After receiving the call staff performed a review of all lighting <br />along Bunker Lake Boulevard through the City, and the following intersections were identified as needing <br />streetlights under the City's priority streetlighting program: <br />Connexus was contacted to prepare proposals to complete the various installations. Attached is a copy of the <br />proposal received, which excludes the lights that are located along the segment of Bunker Lake Boulevard that is <br />scheduled for reconstruction next year (Basalt to Germanium) because they would be served by Anoka Municipal <br />Utilities. <br />Recommendation: <br />Because of the limited lighting along Bunker Lake Boulevard just north of the COR it is recommended to at least <br />perform the installation of streetlights at Town Center Drive and Zeolite Street, although they should be sited such <br />that there would be minimal disruption when this segment of roadway in reconstructed (tentatively planned for <br />2012). If the other locations could be implemented in a similar manner, with minimal impacts to imminent <br />construction projects, than they shold be considered as well. <br />Staff recommends, at a minimum, the installation of priority streetlights at the intersections of Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard and Zeolite Street, and Bunker Lake Boulevard and Town Center Drive based upon the costs outlined in <br />the attached proposal. <br />Funding Source: <br />Financing for this project is proposed to come from the Priority Streetlighting Fund <br />Council Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Connexus proposal <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />
