Streetlight Request
Request For Streetlight
A streetlight may be considered for installation upon receipt of a valid petition and according to City of Grand Island streetlight criteria. Signatures representing churches, houses under construction, or empty lots are not required.
Generally, an additional streetlight may be installed, if the request meets all the following criteria:
A streetlight will only be installed to light a public street within the city limits of Grand Island.
Location approval will be based on the street width, length, obstructions, and service availability.
Where electrical service is only available by crossing private property, the affected property owner shall grant full access to the City Utilities Department to the power source.
There are no other streetlights within 400 feet, or the location is at an unlit public intersection.
Signatures from two (2) residents are required each way from the proposed location on both sides of the street, for a total of eight (8) addresses.
Where locations do not conform to the above criteria, the city offers an optional area lighting plan for all territory served by the City of Grand Island; and is available for any outdoor lighting of customer’s property from dusk-to-dawn, where such service can be rendered directly from the existing secondary distribution lines of the city.
Luminare will be selected by the Electrical Department.
The burning of the lamps shall be controlled by automatic control equipment installed by the city and the burning time shall be approximately thirty minutes after sunset to approximately thirty minutes before sunrise. The city shall be notified by the consumer of any operational failure of lamps. Lamp replacement or repairs will be performed only during regular working hours.
If underground service extension of overhead secondary facilities is required or special materials are required, approval of the city must be obtained.
