Verno~- Avenue, to facilitate removal of overhead utility facilities. Existing street lights on this section of Mt. Vernon Avenue are owned by Edison and mounted on their wood power poles. These lights will be taken out of service when the power poles are removed. It is proposed that new street lights be installed, in order to avoid the street becoming unlighted when the undergrounding of utilities is accomplished. These new street lights will be owned by the City, which will result in savings for electrical energy charges. Installatkm of City-owned street lights will reduce crime and improve traffic safety by increasing the lighting level. We recommend that a finding be made that the installation of these street lights is needed for health and safety reasons. 7-22-87 75-0264
