The Engineering Department has researched the costs to install mid block lights in
neighborhoods. Alliant Energy will provide the pole and light fixture at midblock
locations for a monthly fee. This fee includes the rental of the pole and fixture, energy
cost and maintenance cost. Below is a summary of the current monthly costs per light.
If another pole is required, there will be an additional cost of $7.38 /month
For a year the average cost would be $168.90 per Tight. If there is an existing pole to
mount the street Tight, the pole cost is $2.57 /month. These rates are based on a
secondary wire being installed to a maximum distance of 150 feet. Any distance in
excess of 150 feet would have additional monthly wire costs.
It should be noted that some abutting property owners may not want the Tight in front of
their residences. Engineering has received some residents concerns to placement of
mid -block lights due to Tight potentially shining into bedrooms at night.
