Re: Thorn Acres Street Lighting
Dear Connie:
Per our conversation yesterday I reviewed the existing pole facilities that Central Hudson
has in place on Thorn Acres Avenue and the Caroline Drives.
We recommend the installation of 1 SOW Sodium fixtures on each of the three poles on
Thorn Acres from its intersection with Chelsea Road, one 2S0W Sodium fixture at the
intersection of Thorn Acres Avenue and Caroline Drives East and West. All other poles would be
best served with 150W Sodium fixtures. There are two existing fixtures in place, which we would
replace and upgrade at no cost and there is one pole on Caroline Drive East that is over 30' from
the road. This pole should not have a fixture attached unless specifically requested by these
homeowners as it will primarily illuminate private property if installed.
The cost for this proposal would be approximately $225/month or $2.700 annually.
A lower cost alternative could be utilized that would eliminate lights on every other pole
on the Caroline Drives. This would result in a reduction from 17 new fixtures. as described
above, to 10 new fixtures. The cost for this approach would be approximately $ 134/month or
$1608 annually.
Please call me if you have any questions or suggestions.
v cry Troly Yours,
6(~~
