The city of Goleta is planning to replace more than 1,400 streetlight fixtures, which are expected to be more efficient and cost effective among other advantages.
The Goleta Department of Public Works is recommending the city approve the General Electric LED street light fixtures after working on the project for the past four years.
GE is being recommended over American Electric, Phillips and Cooper street lights based on public feedback, manufacturer history, fixture performance and continuity with other street lights.
The city said these new lights will require less maintenance, and improve visibility and safety due to more focused lighting.
Community members were invited to comment about the project during a virtual meeting on March 10.
