As a result of a City Lighting Study by the Electrical Department and the Community Development Department, it was determined that there was an opportunity for the city to have greater energy efficiency and light quality. LED fixtures have provided an option for the City to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly all street, park, and decorative lights have been replaced with LED fixtures. The City previously converted all of its traffic and pedestrian signals to LED technology was has resulted in significant cost savings and environmental benefits. In fact, the current street lighting system consumes less than 25% of the energy of the prior streetlights, which is saving the city an estimated $500,000 per year in electricity costs and allowing the city to meet carbon footprint reduction goals.
