Re:   Streetlight Contract in Spring Valley neighborhood

 

 

Dear Commissioners Hamilton and Shipley-

 

Per your request, following are the components of the revised proposal that were agreed upon by the Commissioners present to represent the citizens of Spring Valley, and the DDOT representatives on Thursday, January 16th, 2003.

 

The high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights will be 150 watts in order to meet federal and District guidelines. To address the citizens' concern of too many streetlights in the original proposal, the contract now consists of less than 1/2 of those initial streetlights. As requested, these lights will be placed on both sides of the street, at 150-foot intervals, on the diagonal. The current number of streetlights and their street location, along with the number of existing streetlights, is posted below.

 

The work is scheduled to begin in about two weeks.

 

It was a pleasure to work with you and the community on this proposal and we are pleased to have come to a mutually acceptable agreement. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (202-671-2228), or Mr. Khalid (202-671-2248).

 

Colleen Smith
Ward 3 Neighborhood Transportation Planner
