The next phase of the downtown
streetlight improvement project was authorized by City Council that will place
decorative lights on the north side of Anderson Street between Volunteer
Parkway and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The lights will be spaced between the existing
cobra head lights that will remain in place to achieve the desired look while
maintaining an enhanced level of lighting along this 5-lane roadway.
In addition, 3 lights will be
installed at the City Hall and City Hall Annex with one light to be placed at
the main entrance, Police Department entrance, and Juvenile Services
entrance.
The ornamental poles are
identical to the poles previously which replicate the lights that once stood
downtown. The poles will include banner
arms and rings, a flag pole holder, an electrical outlet at the top for seasonal
lighting.
An energy efficient LED lamp,
which is available now for the first time, will be used that will provide the
same light color as the existing metal halide lights but will be much more
energy efficient and have a longer service life.
