Streetlight coverage is an important quality-of-life issue for many residents. In the Village's recent biennial resident survey, 31% of respondents indicated they were not satisfied with streetlight coverage in the community.
The Village recently launched a solar-powered street lighting pilot program at the intersection of Hampton Lane and Woodcrest Road to explore ways to enhance visibility and safety on neighborhood streets.
The pilot program allows the Village to assess the technology's performance, reliability, maintenance needs, and potential benefits before considering broader implementation. Potential advantages include improved resilience during power outages, reduced energy consumption, and lower long-term operating costs.
