Roadway Lighting

Responsibilities

• The Engineering Department is responsible for the design and installation of roadway lighting. Roadway lighting is provided throughout the city to increase nighttime safety.  

• Generally, when half of the lots in a new residential subdivision have buildings constructed, the City will consider installing roadway lights. The costs associated the lights are typically assessed to the benefiting lots in the neighborhood.

• When lights are installed, every effort is made to minimize conflicts with future driveway locations, while ensuring that the area receives a sufficient amount of light. If the property owner has a conflict with the location of an existing light, the Engineering Department will consider moving the light. The relocation would be at the property owner’s expense. Relocation of a light pole can range from $700 to $2,000.
