Clanton Engineering of Boulder is doing the plan, scheduled for completion in November 1998. More than 1,000 pole lights on the Boulder campus and building lights on all 202 campus buildings have been checked in recent months to make sure lights are working. Inspections are continuing twice each month for all campus pole lights and building lights. Inspections used to be done once a month. The few remaining mercury vapor lights will be replaced with a brighter metal halide light, which gives off a whiter light.
Outdoor lights operate on photo cells turning on and off automatically.
The campus Facilities Management department has committed itself to replacing burned out lights within 48 hours of reports. City Lighting Improvements Wattage of the street lights on Colorado Avenue between Folsom and 28th streets has been increased from 150 to 250 watts. Wattage of the street lights on Baseline Road between Broadway and 27th streets has been increased from 200 to 250 watts. Additional 250-watt street lights will be installed by Public Service Company on Baseline between 27th street and U.S. 36. Construction has started on those lights, and is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 1, 1998.
