Show Me Lighting work continues; access and scheduling slow Old Orchard and Old Webster installs
Summary
Commission reported that Show Me Lighting is finishing work in Old Orchard and will move into Old Webster within weeks; crews face access issues to businesses and roof access and commissioners plan coordination with property owners.
The commission received an update on district lighting work undertaken by Show Me Lighting, which is completing installations in Old Orchard and will move into Old Webster within about six weeks to meet a timeline ahead of the holiday season.
Commissioners said installers have been delayed by difficulty accessing some businesses during operating hours and by the need to reach rooftop equipment through active kitchens or secured spaces. The work includes a mix of new installations and repairs; more complex tasks that require access to electrical panels and new conduit have proven more time‑consuming.
Commissioners discussed coordinating in advance with property owners and business operators to schedule access on slower days, and they asked staff and business district volunteers to identify suitable windows for work crews. The commission said one property at address 02:20 requires landlord permission before any rooftop work can proceed.
No formal action was taken; the commission will coordinate with the contractor and property owners to accelerate installations and ensure rooftop and holiday lighting is in place for the winter season.
