Council declines immediate move to dark‑sky street lighting at 29th and South Angle
Summary
PSE replaced the light at 29th Street and South Angle Road; Councilmember Paula Dix reported dark‑sky friendly options are available at an incremental $300–$500 installation cost but the Council reached no consensus to proceed now.
Pacific Service Electric (PSE) has replaced the street light at the junction of 29th Street and South Angle Road, Clerk/Treasurer Amy Myhre reported. Councilmember Paula Dix told the council she researched dark‑sky friendly lighting and confirmed with PSE that such fixtures can be programmed to dim during late hours; Dix said estimated incremental installation costs would run about $300 to $500 more than a standard LED fixture.
Councilmembers expressed interest but did not reach a consensus to pursue a dark‑sky retrofit at this time; the issue may be revisited in the future. The Council did not commit funds or direct staff to begin procurement, and Clerk Myhre noted the matter could be reconsidered when a more specific proposal or cost estimate is available.
