While 354 street lights have already been awarded, these additional lights will <br />complete the conversion to LED on the Broadway Circuits. <br />In September 2013, the City Council awarded a contract to Powerlux Corporation to provide 354 <br />energy- efficient LED post top lights. These lights were installed on the Bristol Street walkway and <br />on Broadway. During implementation of the project, staff identified an additional 60 lights that are <br />eligible for replacement. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />Installation of the additional 60 LED streetlights will save an estimated 31,734.00 kWh annually. <br />This savings translates to a reduction of the City's carbon footprint by approximately 22.4 metric <br />tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of removing 4.7 passenger vehicles from the road. <br />251 -1 <br />
