CITY OF RAMSEY <br />STREET LIGHTING POLICY <br />Revised October 13, 1992 <br /> <br />Intent: It shall be the purpose of the policy to provide a rational basis for the location, type and <br />method of financing of municipal street lighting within the City. <br /> <br />Back~ound: Two distinct classifications of street lighting are acknowledged. Priority arterial <br />street lighting consists of lights placed at key intersections and other priority locations within the <br />City. The chief benefit from this type of lighting shall be for improving safety at the intersection <br />and as a navigation aid to motorists. Because of the general nature of the benefits from this type of <br />lighting, it shall be financed through the City's general fund. <br /> <br />Subdivision lighting is the second classification of street lighting. The major benefits from this <br />type of lighting is increased pedestrian safety, particularly in areas without sidewalks, and <br />increased crime prevention. These benefits occur chiefly to residents of the subdivision, who <br />should be involved both in the decision to provide such street lighting and the financing of the <br />system. <br /> <br />Priority Arterial Street Lighti.ng: Priority arterial street lighting locations shall be limited to <br />intersections at state trunk highways, county roads and arterial city streets. Sequential priority <br />levels shall be established which shall generally utilize traffic volumes as the chief criteria. <br />However, other criteria affecting priority shall include a) high frequency of nighttime accidents; b) <br />marked pedestrian crossings at schools and parks; and c) unusual sight limitations. The City <br />Engineering and Police Departments shall jointly establish, maintain and periodically review the <br />priority locations listed below: <br /> <br />Priority A - Very Much Needed <br /> <br />Co.
