Council Minutes of 2/7/95 .~- homes. The homeowners association decided to take action on this issue because it is a safety issue. The current lighting is woefully inadequate. Service Director Bohlmann has conducted a resident survey of the area, and the results show that 66% of the residents responding approve of the installation of street lights.

Dan Reed, 27752 Blossom Boulevard, spoke on the need for street lights in the Twin Woods development.

He encouraged Council and the Mayor to push for this project. Service Director Bohtmann commented that Canterbury Woods had not had any street light improvements--although it has been proposed along with other subdivisions. He said that street lights in Canterbury Woods and the entire city had been converted from mercury vapor to high pressure sodium.
