Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Safe and Clean Corridors Street Lighting Conversion project will change out approximately 3300 streetlights to LED in the Sullivant, Parsons, and Livingston Avenue areas. The installation and conversion to LED lighting within the project area will provide an additional sense of safety and security to the residents. This may also deter criminal activity, which would lessen the financial impact on city resources such as the Police and Fire departments. The Division of Power will have significant energy savings from the conversion to LED from high pressure sodium streetlights.
