1998 Street Lighting Projects

Ward 27, York Humber and Ward 28, York Eglinton

 The York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (July 20, 1998) from the York Commissioner of Operations Services:

 Purpose:

 To obtain approval for street lighting projects within the York District.

 Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Status:

 Funding for new installations of record is available in the 1998 Street Lighting Account No. 459-561.

 Recommendations:

 It is recommended that:

 (1)the York Community Council recommend to Council approval of the street lighting projects which appear in Appendix A; and

 (2)the Toronto Hydro-Electric Commission (York District) be requested to proceed with the construction of these approved street lighting projects.

  Council Reference/Background History:

 In this year's capital expenditures, the sum of $20,000.00, which is the same as the 1997 budget, was provided for new installations.

 Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

 To date, there is one request on the outstanding street lighting list (see Appendix A) for an estimated installation cost of $600.00.

 The attached Appendix A provides the locations of the Street Lighting Requests for 1997/98 and you will note that in keeping with existing policy five of the seven projects have been completed.

 In addition, in my report to Community Council dated June 26, 1998, we recommended an expenditure of $15,000.00 from the Street Lighting Capital Account, to fund proposed street lighting improvements on Eglinton Avenue West.

 Conclusions:

 With the funds approved by Council, we can accommodate the outstanding request.
