Report has been made, thanks Doug!

the second one was how to report via city -

thanks!

Hey Doug,
The city receives light out requests from here.
They are responsible for lights in NH

Thanks guys! I will leave this open until I can confirm that it is fixed, which will hopefully be soon. The Wooster Square Block Watch has organized a Halloween event out on the street, so we hope not to be sitting in the dark!

ben - i thought some were through UI and some were through the city?

and clearly this is the best way as it's easiest - is this how every street light should be reported out around town then? i was told differently a few weeks back -

thanks!

Hey Doug,
I have not heard that UI has any lights in NH.
I have this info attached to their watch area:

hmmm

that sounds pretty official. it'd be great if we could have someone from engineering just confirm that all street lights (not pedestrian lights) should be simply logged through here and not anywhere else?

Sebouh -

Thank you! how would we know which ones are the UI Light The Night Program?

Also - your phone number didn't work when i tried it a minute ago-

best,

doug

Hey Doug,
The Light the night lights look like flood lights or are lamp posts. As far as I know there are no light the night lamp posts in New Haven.
I'll take a photo of one and post here for you later.

sweet - thanks for clarifying

Sebouh Says,
"Flat Lens Cobra Head High Pressure Sodium luminaires mounted on wood or aluminum poles lighting the roadways are owned by the city as well as the pedestrian decorative lights. UI's Private Area Lighting is most of the time used to illuminate parking lots, private driveways or building facades and are square shaped.

The phone number to call city street lighting division is (203) 946 6091."

Have a nice day.

Thanks for all your help! This was fixed in plenty of time for the Court St block party.
