RE: Highway Lighting, Route 9
town of Wappinger
County of Dutchess
c- -- -
!
Dear Mr. Diehl:
As indicated in my February 27, 1980 letter to you, we have investigated
the section of Route 9 in the vicinity of Myers Corners Road, for the
possibility of installing highway lighting under the various criteria used
for justification.
Unfortunately, the conditions along this section do not ~eet any of the
criteria which would allow us to participate in the capital construction
costs of installing lighting. The various criteria used were reduction of
existing nighttime accident experience, replacement of existing lighting or
extension of continuous lighting to eliminate present gaps.
If, however, the Town wishes to pursue the installation of lighting on its
own accord, we would be willing to work with you in issuing the necessary
work permit in order to accomplish the task.
I regret that we cannot be more positive in our response.
