Village officials reported the DesPlaines Avenue Street Lighting Project is nearly complete: new fixtures are energized and final add-on pieces and remaining pole installations are pending, per Mayor Mengoni and Public Works attachments.

Mayor Mengoni and Public Works staff reported progress on the DesPlaines Avenue Street Lighting Project, saying the new lights are energized and the Village is awaiting a few additional components and final pole installations.

Mayor Mengoni said the "DesPlaines Avenue Street Lighting Project is almost complete," noting the new fixtures are presently lighting DesPlaines Avenue (SEG 012).

Easement agreements are signed and the contractor (Utility Dynamics) is expected to return to finish installing the remaining poles (SEG 126-127).

No additional funding requests or formal approvals for this project were recorded at the meeting; status and remaining installation work are captured in the Public Works report attachment.
