Here is the process. Upon receipt of the street light petition, a field survey shall be conducted by Facilities Management, or its designee, to determine the existing lighting conditions including the number of street lights, locations, spacing, fixtures types, poles, and any other pertinent information.
- (1) An inspection may take place at night hours if deemed necessary to properly assess the area.

- (2) Once the petition is verified, a map shall be drawn of the area showing any existing street light.

- (3)Facilities Management or their designee, shall prepare a recommendation and estimated cost of such work, including installation of lights, maintenance cost, and electricity cost.

- (4) All findings, costs, and recommendations shall then be submitted via resolution to the Macon-Bibb Commission for consideration and approval of installation. The Macon-Bibb County Commission shall assess each petition individually on the merits and shall be required to identify funding for any approved projects

- Roughly, the entire process may take from 3 to 6 months.
