CHOOSE STYLE OF STREET LIGHT/COMMERCIAL PARK
Mr. Erickson explained the reconstruction of Jay Street includes street lighting. He asked the EDA
to look at options, noting the intent is to carry the same lights throughout the entire development,
including the parking lots for a uniform look. He then showed several light styles used in other
commercial parks. The lighting style will be adjusted to meet the lighting requirements established
by the City.
The EDA discussed the options, but expressed concern that the commercial park was being designed
based on the type oflights instead ofthe lights fitting in with the theme and color scheme. It was
suggested the EDA should probably meet with the architectural firm to discuss themes, etc., before
choosing a street light style. They also wanted to see videos of the street lights in the dark to get a
better idea of what they look like.
./-----..
U Staff agreed to make a video of street light. options in both the day and night setting. The EDA
members also agreed to do some research on their own; and if they see something unique, they will
inform the Staff.

(Choose Style of Street Light/Commercial Park, Continued)
Mr. Erickson stated the Jay Street project can proceed without the street lights, and the lights can
then be done under a separate contract either this fall or in the spring. The EDA suggested that the
underground work for the lights be done with the Jay Street project. The hope was to have the lights
in place for the opening of the theater in November. Mr. Erickson stated he will bring something
to the EDA at the next meeting.
