PLACEMENT OF STREET LIGHTS

groups of residents for the placement of street lights; and
WHEREAS, the City currently pays electrical costs of approximately
$13 per month for each street light the City installs.

1. T hat the City adopt the following policy concerning the
installation of street lights on public streets within the City of Shorewood:
Location. The City recognizes that street lighting in certain
locations is necessary to promote safe travel for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic. However, it is not the intent of the Council to
install street lights for the purpose of deterring criminal
activity. Based on this the Council will consider the authorization
of placing street lights on city streets only at: 1)
intersections; 2) the end of cul-de-sacs; 3) sharp turns; and 4)
steep hills on city streets.
Requests for Street Liqhtinq. While requests will be considered
from any resident, it is recommended that a petition of neighboring
residents be submitted with the request.
Cost of Street Liqhtinq. The City agrees to pay the cost of monthly
electric service for an authorized street light. It will not pay
for the installation of the light or for extending power to the
proposed location of the light, or for any light other than a
standard street light.
