Thank you for reporting the issue to the City of Bridgeport. Please know that the information was emailed to the Public Facilities Director for an inquiry with the United Illuminating Company (UI) to see what needs to done for the installation of a light, for safety purposes.

UPDATE

The response below was received from the Public Facilities Department. Also provided is the link to the ordinance.

A letter must be provided from the petitioner explaining the reason for the request before proceeding with any request for streetlight installation according to Ordinance Chapter 12.60 - STREETLIGHT INSTALLATIONS. This is a long and lengthy process please advise requester of requirements.

Thank you.

Why are all these steps needed and again today another illegal transaction right in front of home. These people are coming down from the motel to buy drugs on the street. At night they sit by Polk St and almost in front of 312 Lake street bc it the most dark in that area. I have seen them do it in broad daylight the same guy everyday day. This is ridiculous, and an safety issue for those residents n that are.
