Duke Energy has inspected the existing lights and determined that they are safe. The City will be entering into an agreement with Duke Energy to replace the existing lights with a new LED lighting system. I have emailed the citizen twice and provided my contact information for any questions.

Mr. Watkins, Duke Energy is in the process of creating an outdoor lighting service agreement to replace the existing four shoe box fixtures and poles. Upon receipt, the agreement will go before the Board of Public Works to approve. Upon approval, the lights will be scheduled to install. Best, Christina

Mr. Watkins, The City of Bloomington Department of Public Works leases these lights from Duke Energy and is responsible for the maintenance services. Duke is aware of the issues with these lights and they are scheduled to be replaced in the near future. If you have any further questions, you may email me at smithc@bloomington.in.gov. Thanks, Christina Smith
