Information On Street Lighting

Information Sheet

1. street lighting is a service provided by your municipal
government for the purpose of reducing traffic accidents, improving pedestrian safety, deterring crime, and improving the appearance of our community.
The cost of the service is financed by yearly appropiations approved by the City Council as a part of the City's operating budget. The money for the Council appropriations comes from
the taxes and service charges, etc. which you pay to your municipal government. Only a limited amount of public funds (usually not more than 5% of the amount spent the previous year for street lighting) is available for increased street lighting.
2. Residential street lights may be installed at intersections of streets dedicated and open in accordance with the statutes of the state of Oklahoma. A street light may be installed at a
mid-block location when the distance between the existing intersections is 600 feet or more and when the necessary
right-of-way, easements, and electrical facilities are available.
3. A 9500-lumen; High Pressure Sodium unit may be installed at the intersection of streets where they intersect with section line and half-section line streets; and a 4000-lumen, High Pressure Sodium unit may be installed at all other intersections.
4. A residential street light may be installed if:
(a) 51% of the property owners within one block or 300 feet, whichever is closer, sign a petition requesting a street light and where 50% of the area is developed.
(b) The vehicle or pedestrian traffic accident experience is such that the installation of a street light is
warranted.
(c) Any other unusual situation exists, such as a dead-end street, a view obstruction, etc. that would warrant installation of a street light.
5. Requests, inquiries, and completed petitions for residential street lights should be directed to the Traffic Management Division - 420 W. Main, suite 600, Oklahoma city, Oklahoma 73102 for review and processing. Blank petition forms are
available on request from the Traffic Management Division.
6. A "Location Diagram" is provided to assist in the location of the street light. Insofar as the requested location is consistent with the procedure outlined above, available
facilities, and accepted street lighting engineering, installation will be authorized as requested on the "Location Diagram."

Lighting Brenton Hills Would Like To Have installed

Brenton Hills is/has been trying to improve the quality and appearance of the light in the community. An Oklahoma City company named Pelco has agreed to reduce their price of the "The Bristol Series" street lamps(SEE THE PHOTOS AT THE TOP OF ARTICLE). These street lamps provide a period atmosphere and a warm glow of light which is ideal for residential developments, parks and recreational areas.

Sturdy design, ease of maintenance and a reasonable price makes this lamp a favorite.
