Street
Light Requests
 Installation
of new street lights may be requested by city residents.
The process is as follows:
- Request for street lights is received.
- Field investigation by the City to evaluate compliance
with engineering standards for illumination, placement and
spacing.
- Residents requesting street lighting circulate a petition
in the affected neighborhood and obtain property owners'
signatures and addresses.
- A successful petition shows a significant majority (66%
or more) of the affected residents are in favor of street
light installation.
- The appropriate power company is contacted by the City
for installation of street lights.
The cost of the installation and monthly service charges
are paid by the City of Grand Junction. However, the City
will only pay for the installation of the facilities that
are compatible with the existing power service and standard
light poles. In areas where the existing power is overhead,
the street lights are installed on the existing power poles.
Residents who request any other type of street lighting would
be required to pay the additional costs of conversion of power
from overhead to underground.
Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
