Declaring it necessary to improve intersections at Matzinger Road & Stickney Avenue by installing a street light; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Street Lighting Section of the Division of Engineering and Construction Management has received numerous complaints regarding the absence of lighting at the intersection of Matzinger Road & Stickney Avenue.

This ordinance proposes installing a streetlight at this location to illuminate the intersection.
The annual cost of this improvement is estimated to be $345.00 with a one-time installation cost of $2,200.00. These costs will be paid from the General Fund.
