Title
Declaring it necessary to improve intersections at Copley Drive and Marriat Road, Hill Avenue and Dunderry Lane, Thayer Street and Alley Intersection, and Worley Place and E. Manhattan Boulevard; by installing street lighting; 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 intersections of Copley Drive and Marriat Road, Hill Avenue and Dunderry Lane, Thayer Street and Alley Intersection, and Worley Place and E. Manhattan Boulevard. The Street Lighting Section surveyed the areas and determined that current street lighting is not adequate. This resolution proposes installing a streetlight at each of these locations to illuminate the intersections.
The annual cost of these improvements is estimated to be $111.48 for each intersection with a one-time installation cost of $825 each. These costs will be paid from the General Fund Utilities account.
