CRESTVIEW — The Community Redevelopment Agency board unanimously approved $9,855 to purchase additional street lighting for Wilson Street between Pine Avenue and U.S. Highway 90.
Public Works officials said they noticed the two-block lighting deficiency during December’s Christmas parade as parade goers returned to their cars along darkened streets.
Though the new lights will use more efficient LED technology, the fixtures will still have the turn-of-the-century appearance of other historic district lights, Public Works Director Wayne Steele said.
The new streetlights will be installed when they are delivered in about six weeks, Steele said.
