Street Lighting

Street lights are monitored through an adaptive control system. This system allows for remote monitoring and improved asset management, automatically notifying Town staff of maintenance issues. 

Lighting improvements and infill requests

The Town reviews all reports of lighting level concerns to identify areas in need of improvement. 

In older neighbourhoods that were built before a prescribed lighting design standard, the review process compares lighting levels in the immediate surrounding streets to benchmark consistency.  

In subdivisions where the lighting was built to meet today's design standards, that is the benchmark used in the review process.  

If a need for improvement is identified, certain locations are prioritized. 

• Locations near intersections are prioritized first, due to the increase for potential conflicting movements. 
• Next, mid-block locations are prioritized by road classifications, with arterials first, followed by collectors, then local roadways.
