I have placed Mr. Miller's street lights requests on DPW's request worksheet for future consideration. I have sent him an email and explained our additional lighting process and gave him my contact information in the event he would like to discuss this matter in detail.

Mr. Miller, Thank you for your street lighting request. The Department of Public Works (DPW) handles the City's street lights within the City's public right-of-way. The City also leases lights through Duke Energy and pays for the installation, energy, and maintenance costs with Duke Energy providing the maintenance services. Each year DPW installs new street lights based upon residential location requests which is dependent upon available funding. I will place your request on our list for future consideration. All of the funding allocation for residential request additional lighting has been spent for 2021. So, I will evaluate the area at the beginning of 2022. There isn't sufficient right-of-way to install new poles on S Woodlawn Ave. Within the parameters of your request area, the City's right-of-way ends at the back edge of the existing sidewalks. However, I can place lighting fixtures at intersections on existing wooden poles if they belong to Duke Energy. I will be more than happy to scheduled a phone call or virtual meeting with you to discuss our lighting process and/or answer any questions you might have. You can email me directly at smithc@bloomington.in.gov or by phone at 812-349-3589. Best, Christina

They are wanting street lights installed.
