MEMORANDUM <br />Memo To :Mayor and City Council <br />From :R. A. Minetor, Director of PLIblirl Works <br />Date :August 23, 1988 <br />Subject :Street Light Installation on Hillview Road <br />We have received a petition request for a st;:eet light to be <br />installed on Hillview Road between Long Lake Road and Woodlawr. <br />Drive. I have checked the City's policy and can not recommend <br />this installation. The petition is valid in accordance to the <br />policy; however, the criteria for installation are not satisfied. <br />Specifically, the policy lists the following criteria for <br />location: <br />Intersections, sharp curves, cul de sacs, dead ends, long <br />blocks, mid -block pedestrian crosswalks, and vandalized <br />areas. <br />i have received comment from the Police Chief regarding ti!e <br />history and potential for vandalism. He indicated that since <br />October of 1936 there has only been one vandalism incident <br />reported. He further indicated that he did not believe this area <br />had a high potential for vandalism. The othsr criteria do not <br />apply in this instance. There are existing street lights on the <br />north east corners of Long Lake Road at Hillview and Woodlawn at <br />Hillview, These lights ar2 approximately 660 feet apart. The <br />installation policy also recommends spacing of at least 400 feet <br />between street lights. <br />Due to the criteria in tha policy and the absence of any apparent <br />compelling need f-)r installation, I recommend not to install the <br />street light requested by petition. <br />is <br />
