Arlington Place Light Installation
I'm very pleased to report the City's Department of Transportation has recently installed new residential street lighting on either side of the 400 block of West Arlington Place. These lights, paid from my Aldermanic Menu Fund, also include a new electrical vault, modern electrical conduit wiring, new light poles and Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures. In addition, the project replaced the older, outdated infrastructure with poles that are placed on a diagonal slant to maximize on-street lighting, as well as the installation of secondary "carriage" lighting to the rear of each pole to allow additional lighting to shine onto sidewalks.
