STREET LIGHTING POLICY <br /> <br />Purpose: <br />It shall be the purpose of the policy to provide a rational basis for the location, type and method of <br />financing of murfic~pal street lighting within the City. <br /> <br />Background: <br />Two distinct classifications of street lighting are acknowledged. Priority arterial street lighting <br />consists of lights placed at key intersections and other priority locations within the City. The chief <br />benefit from this type of lighting shall be for improving safety at the intersection and as a <br />navigation ~id to motorists. Because of the general nature of the benefits from this type of lighting, <br />it shall be financed through the City's general fund. <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 s=eet lighting and the financing of the <br />system. <br /> <br />Priority Arterial Street Lighting: <br />Priority arterial street lighting locations shall be limited to intersections at the state trunk highways, <br />county ro~d~ and arterial city streets. Sequential priority levels shall be established which shall <br />generally ufiliTe traffic volumes as the chief cziteria. However, other criteria affecting priority shal/ <br />include a) high frequency of nigh. me accqdents; b) marked pedestrian crossings at schools and <br />pearks- and ch unusual sight !imitauons.
