Could we look into that and try to add lights in some of those areas as well ? FHP may have information on where these accidents have occurred frequently. More lighting would assist drivers spotting pedestrians walking and crossing roads at night. BIG PROBLEM to solve with people walking in dark clothing,etc. Great Job adding visibility in Neighborhoods. Thanks, Hey Nick

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 03:08:37 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=313732#comment-359302 I recently saw these show up along Detroit Blvd from Hwy 29 heading west all the way down to Redwing Drive. I was wondering why all of a sudden there was lighting along a fairly dark road. Not complaining by any means. In our neighborhood, people pay for the street lights on their power bills. I paid for one for over 15 years then we installed our own lighting. Once that street light was turned off, another neighbor started paying for it. Apparently in a subdivision, it is up to the developer whether they have lighting installed or not and if it is, it's somehow paid for by the persons purchasing lots in that area. Oh, also, if you see a light that's out, look on the pole for a little tag with a number that starts with a P. You can report the light being out online or call. If it's being paid for on someone's bill, they will come repair it. I recently saw these show up along Detroit Blvd from Hwy 29 heading west all the way down to Redwing Drive.

You shouldn't pay for something that does not work. If you have a problem with your lights call Gulf Power. You shouldn’t pay for something that does not work.

But no they just go dim. I'm sorry but it I just really don't understand this if you grant utility access to an easment why does whatever utilities use that easment why don't the have to do some kind of up keep. Years ago they said don't cut around lines well who does that. Scott don’t feel bad I pay for two and you would think after a few years they would check them. But no they just go dim.
