Will follow up with citizen when replacement costs are known.
Other: Hello! We have a streetlight at the corner of fairviw an Allen st. It is working and enhances safety, but also creates light pollution. It creates over-lighting on our porch and in our bedroom. I am happy to have streetlights, but am wondering if there is any way I and possibly my neighbors can work with duke/city gov in considering an alternative light with less light pollution. I have looked at some possible grants for non-polluting street lights. Thanks so much for your time!

Ms. Roy-Ehri, Thank you for reporting the light trespass issue regarding the street light at the corner of Fairview & Allen. The City leases lights from Duke Energy and pays for the installation and energy usage with Duke providing the maintenance services. This particular light fixture an older high pressure sodium vapor light. If you give me your address, I will look into the cost of changing out the fixture head to a full cut off LED fixture and let you know if there is available funding this year. Best, Christina
