Street Light Requirements
On City-maintained streets, the City is coordinating efforts with the power companies to ensure street lights meet City Street Light Standards based on available funding. The City is also working with the power companies to convert Sodium Vapor street lights to LED lights as a cost saving measure. Contact the Transportation Department with any questions regarding our street lighting policy.
A street light is required on a dead-end street that is more than 200 feet long and on all cul-de-sacs. Additionally, the City may have additional street lights installed if such lighting is needed for sharp curves that may create a safety hazard for motorists.
