HUSTON, CITY MANAGER STATUS REPORT REGARDING CABLE TELEVISION COVERAGE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS Councilman Prescott requested that this item be placed on the agenda. Staff will give a verbal report concerning this item at the City Council meeting. WAH:jcs TO: FROM: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION SUBJECT: STREET LIGHT REQUEST - HOLLYHOCK AVENUE BETWEEN BROOKSHIRE AVENUE AND GREENMEADOW AVENUE RECOMMENDATION: That the Tustin City Council at their meeting of September 19, 1988 authorize the installation of a marbelite street light (5800 lumen) and underground conduit on both Hollyhock Avenue and Glenarbor Avenue at mid-block, and authorize a supplemental 1988-89 budget appropriation in the amount of $7,200 for said installations. BACKGROUND: At the September 6, 1988 City Council meeting, a resident expressed concerns about street lighting, spe~ding vehicles, and gathering of ~juveniles in the general vicinity of Hollyhock Avenue and Brookshire 'venue. - A specific request by the resident was made, by petition, for a street light on the westerly side of Hollyhock Avenue. Additionally, it was requested that something be done about the vehicular speeding in the general vicinity of the subject intersection. It is my understanding that the Police Department will be addressing the speeding complaint. DISCUSSION: A field review of the subject area revealed that there are no street lights on Hollyhock Avenue as indicated , and that a similar street, Glenarbor Avenue, both easterly and northerly, also does not have a street light. Each of these streets are approximately 200 feet in length between Greenmeadow Avenue and Brookshire Avenue, and Summerville Avenue and Brookshire Avenue, respectively. Similar type streets at six other locations throughout Tustin Meadows were reviewed and found to contain street lights at mid-block on one side of the street. These streets are identified as: Hidden Hills Avenue between Royal Oak Road and Brookshire Avenue; Castlewood Avenue between Pennington Avenue and Brookshire Avenue; Burlingame Avenue between Hampshire Road and Roanoke Avenue; Castlewood Avenue between Dorchester Avenue and Roanoke Avenue; Deerfield Avenue between Heather Avenue and Roanoke Avenue; and Kingston Avenue between Amherst Road and Roanoke Avenue. STREET LIGHT REQUEST September 12, 1988 Page 2. It appears that both Hollyhock Avenue and Glenarbor Avenue had street lights omitted inadvertently during their design and construction in 1968-69. Both locations are dark and do warrant the installation of a street light. The requesting resident did indicate the westerly side of Hollyhock Avenue as the desired location for the street light. It appears that the westerly side may be in conflict with the underground cable television conduit; therefore, it is suggested that the final location (westerly or easterly) be determined after a complete investigation of all substructures in both streets. The street light placements should be at mid-block for each street and designated as 5800 lumen high-pressure sodium vapor (HPSV) luminaire. A preliminary cost estimate for each location is $3,600.
