Background and Analysis:

In 2020 the City installed lighting strands on Washington & 5^th Ave to improve ambiance and visibility. With additional PBIA funds, this program can be expanded. At their May 26^th meeting staff presented options for additional locations, with board members suggesting other areas. Since then, staff have estimated the material costs for six new block lengths (pictured in attachment) as $2,500. PBIA will only be responsible for these costs, not labor.

Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):

N/A

Options:

1.                     Authorize the use of PBIA funds for additional overhead strand lighting

2.                     Do not authorize the use of PBIA funds at this time

Financial Impact:

Staff estimates lighting costs as $2,500.
