Streetlight Report <br />November 5, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />anticipated that they would be approximately $3,000 per light, saving almost 50% of what <br />the decorative Domus lights cost. Another added benefit of the shoebox style of lighting <br />is that they typically cast more light and thus can be spaced out more than the decorative <br />lights. If the City were to consider the area between County Road H2 and Silver Lake <br />Road (the City Center) for decorative lights and the areas lying beyond the City Center for <br />the shoebox lights, the following costs could be anticipated: <br /> <br />City Center Frontage = 9,000 feet 90 lights x $5,770 = $519,300 <br />Periphery Frontage = 10,000 feet 80 lights x $3,000 = $240,000 <br /> Total: $759,300 <br /> <br />Utilizing this approach would save approximately $300,000. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Discuss this information and direct staff with regard to the potential of creating a City <br />Center within which decorative lights would be installed, beyond which standard shoebox <br />lights would be installed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br />763-717-4021 <br /> <br />N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\City Council\General Reports\Streetlight Report - Nov 5, 2001.doc
