REPORTS - ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT - REQUEST FOR STREET LIGHTS The Electrical Department give the following reports and recommendations on requests for street lights: Corner of Prospect and Delaware St. - The Electrical Department has made an investigation at the corner of Prospect and Delaware Streets for the installation of a street light. We find that a 4,000 lumen street light here would benefit some of the people that live near this corner. North east Corner Twvckenham Drive and Jefferson Blvd. - The Electrical Department recommends that a 21,000 lumen street light be installed at the north east corner of Twyckenham Drive and Jefferson Blvd. The reason for this change is because the light at the south west corner has been knocked down fifteen times in two years. AREA of: -diking Drive: In checking the area of viking Drive, it is recommended by this Department that four 4,000 lumen street lights be installed on Viking Drive as shown on the attached sketch. (Filed) Viking Drive is approximately 1,700 feet long, and for this reason we feel our recommendation should be approved. 936; West LaSalle Avenue • The Electrical Department recommends that a 1,000 lumen street light at 936f West LaSalle Avenue be removed, and a 6,000 lumen street light be installed north of the existing light at the northeast corner of LaSalle Avenue and Hamden Dourt. This is the area where the South Shore train makes an approach onto LaSalle Avenue and a brighter street light here would also prove to be a safety factor. The preceding recommendations were approved by the Board. STREET LIGHT OUTAGE REPORTS The street light outage reports were approved and ordered filed by the Board.
