Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item DATE: October 22. 2024 ITEM: 7.a. ITEM DESCRIPTION: Streetlight Updates Background On March 4, 2024, the City Council adopted a new streetlight policy. The old policy was previously adopted in 2003. The major changes to the policy include the following: 1. Sets minimum lighting standard for lights at all intersections, curves, and marked crosswalks, regardless of request. 2. For mid -block lights, the petition process was reduced from 100% of the adjacent property owners within 150' of the proposed light location to 60%. o 60% is also used in the existing policy for residents to petition for an enhanced lighting district. 3. Establishes districts for commercial and city special areas. o The petition process to request street segments be added to a commercial district would be 60%. 4. Removes design standards from the policy such that those can exist as a separate technical document that can be updated as technologies change. 5. No process was established to remove lights. Staff has begun working with Xcel to install streetlights at missing intersections, curves, and crosswalks. We have begun with getting streetlights installed at crosswalks. Staff hopes to have all the crosswalk lights installed by the end of the year. Overall, it is anticipated we will spread the new installations (-120) out over the next 3-5 years depending on if there are upfront costs and Xcel's availability. Staff will notify adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the new light location that lighting will be installed at least three weeks prior to the installation of the light. Staff will give a quick presentation on our work to date on getting the new streetlights installed per the new policy. Recommendation Receive presentation and provide feedback. Attachments 1.
