Board hears options on LED streetlight replacements and no‑parking adjustments
Summary
Board members discussed sign placement near a shared driveway, a proposed no‑parking zone, and whether to replace town street fixtures to match Duke Energy's LED conversions; speakers noted potential energy savings and an estimated $43 monthly bill increase if replacements proceed without coordination.
Council members discussed whether to adjust no‑parking markings near a shared driveway and whether the town should replace its poles and fixtures to match Duke Energy's LED conversions. One speaker suggested limiting no‑parking zones to a tree line to preserve shared access; another said Duke may replace poles only if the town coordinates replacements.
S5 said replacing town fixtures could raise the town's bill 'about $43 per month' but would use less energy over time, and that Duke would likely perform a site survey before any replacement. The board asked staff to follow up with Duke and confirm whether coordinated replacement is required before approving town fixture changes.
