Council delays proactive LED conversion and advances traffic-calming policy work after data-device failure
Oncor is replacing HPS streetlights with LEDs as units fail; council deferred proactive city-funded conversion. The city's traffic counter failed and will be returned under warranty, delaying traffic-calming studies by an estimated two months; staff were directed to redline a draft policy modeled on Denton.

The council discussed two public-works issues: streetlight fixtures and traffic-calming policy. Oncor informed the city that high-pressure sodium (HPS) streetlight fixtures have been phased out and will be replaced by LED fixtures as existing Oncor-owned units fail. Council members agreed LED conversion has cost and energy benefits but decided not to proactively fund a full conversion now because roads and drainage had higher budget priority.
