PROJECT SCOPE

This project is constructing street lights and electrical services in various locations throughout the City.  Locations were selected to fill in gaps within the existing system.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

Construction is planned to wrap up by the end of 2025.  

PROJECT FUNDING

The funding for this project includes American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funds.  

PROJECT UPDATE

April 2025 - Construction is underway for all project locations (see map above).  Prep work for wiring, pole installation, and getting electrical service continues.  Poles will start to be installed this month.  Shoulder closures and alternating one-way traffic control in the project areas can be expected to accommodate the work.

Please note that the construction will generally consist of these phases:

• Underground work (install conduit and prep for foundations)
  • All locations have completed underground work.  Some minor touch up work should be expected.
• Concrete (pour the concrete for the foundations and other electrical infrastructure)
  • All locations have completed concrete work.  Some minor clean-up work should be expected.
• Poles (install the light poles)
• Wiring (install the wiring, perform an electrical inspection, and protect the wiring from theft)
  • All locations have been prepped for wiring.
• Completion (turn on and testing lights, correction of any deficiencies)

The contractor is working to be as efficient as possible, so you may see crews in your neighborhood several different times as they complete each phase of the project.  Feel free to reach out if you have questions!
