An installation of this type is a light installed on an existing wooden power pole and is financed by the city. This lighting is intended to be only for minimal traffic safety. Utilitarian lighting can only be installed at locations that meet certain criteria . A property owner can petition the city to initiate an assessment project to install lighting on the street adjacent to their property. This type of installation is for a complete, lighting system on the street.
Property owners are responsible for their share of the costs of installation and annual maintenance.
New assessments require a vote of the property owners in compliance with Proposition 218, now part of the California Constitution. Petitions and applications for the installation of new street lighting are available from this site.
