In 2009, the City purchased 2,437 streetlights from KCP&L. Most of these lights are over 35 years old, were installed under different lighting standards and are at or beyond their expected useful life. Since 2009, approximately 400 of these purchased lights have been replaced. This program provides on-going funding to continue to replace a number of these purchased lights and other older streetlights in the City annually. The current average cost to replace a streetlight and pole is approximately $10,000.
Project Description
Replace older streetlights with new modern energy efficient lights meeting current city standards. The project also provides matching funds for street lighting projects receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding annually. Specific projects are identified annually.
