I pr C£NERAL This report will investigate the cost and feasibility of installing a new street lighting system on County Road 15 from Commerce Boulevard to the Seton . Bridge. At the present time, there exists eight (8) old style fluorescent street lights between Commerce Boulevard and the Post Office. These lights are obsolete and expensive to operate and maintain, in fact, the one in front *of Century Auto Body had to be removed and has not been replaced. Two of the lights are within the area of proposed reconstruction on County Road 15 and y probably will need to be relocated by the county's contractor. There are also 13 existing street lights mounted on N.S.P. poles at various locations between Belmont Road and Bartlett Boulevard. Most of these are located at intersections, but a few are in mid -block such as the two across from the apartment buildings. We believe these are all 100 watt high pressure sodium fixtures which were installed and are owned by N.S.P. LIGHTS The proposed lights would be a contemporary design to match the existing lights on Commerce Boulevard. The light standards would be 35 feet high with a 6 to 8 foot mast on the top of the pole. The lamps would be either 150 watt high pressure sodium or 250 watt high pressure sodium, the same as are in use talong :ommerce Boulevard. Electrical outlets would be provided for Christmas decoration lighting at a 20 feet height above the ground. This report will include two alternates for the City to review. Alternate No. 1 would Ce for thirty (30) new 250 watt high pressure sodium lights at 100 foot alternate spacing along both sides of the street .from Commerce Boulevard to Fairview Lane. If this Alternate is used, then the 6 existing N.S.P. lights between Fairview Lane and Bartlett Boulevard would remain in approximately the sane location. Alternate No. 2 will investigate the feasibility of i.r,stalling new lights the entire length of the street improvement from Commerce Boulevard to Bartlett Boulevard. For this Alternate, r e - 150 watt high pressure sodium and seven - 250 -•att high pressure soalum lights would bi� aoded to ++ Alternate No. 1 for the area from Fai--view Lane to Bartlett Boulevard, with the 10�+Er kattage lamps used in the residential area.
