A proposal for new streetlight poles has been put on hold. The plan was to install a large number of poles at a significant cost. Officials are being asked to reconsider the design to incorporate a unique character.
The goal is for the streetlights to have a distinct appearance that reflects the area where they are located. This would be a change from the standard design used elsewhere.
Further details about the proposal and the decision are available, including the estimated cost and the types of poles that were proposed.
