Public Works Committee <br />Meeting Date: 11/21/2017 <br />Submitted For: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br />By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works <br />5. 7. <br />Title: <br />Consider the Addition of Street Lights in our Industrial Area <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this case is to investigate the installation of additional street lights in our industrial areas. <br />Background: <br />Staff received a complaint from a local business owner about vandalism on his property and felt part of the cause <br />was lack of adequate street lighting near his business. Staff did an inventory of street lighting in the industrial area <br />and found that lighting could be improved at several key intersections. Street lights are often used to help make <br />motorists more aware of an approaching intersection and provide some basic illumination to the neighborhood. A <br />map will be presented at the meeting to show the locations of the requested lights in the industrial park. <br />Timeframe: <br />10 minutes <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Staff has received cost estimates for light installation from Connexus Energy which is attached to the case. The <br />initial cost for installation varies by location and are listed below. The current energy and maintenance cost is $7.76 <br />per month/light. Intersections chosen for street light installation are as follows: <br />Ramsey Blvd/ 143rd Ave - $5722.50 <br />Jaspar St/ 143rd Ave - $10473.00 <br />Ebony St/143rd Ave - $3485.50 <br />Ebony St/141st Ave - $3485.50 <br />Azurite St/ 144th Ave - $6269.50 <br />Funding Source: <br />Street Light Fund 9603-1730 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the installation of priority street lights at the following intersections: <br />Ramsey Blvd/ 143rd Ave <br />Jaspar St/ 143rd Ave <br />Ebony St/143rd Ave <br />Ebony St/141st Ave <br />Azurite St/ 144th Ave <br />Action: <br />
