Town Of Corte Madera: Energy Efficiency Streetlight Upgrade Project Commences

Press release from the Town of Corte Madera:

December 17, 2021

The Town of Corte Madera recently launched the Streetlight Conversion Project, which will upgrade approximately 900 streetlights throughout the Town to Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures.

The project was awarded to Tanko Lighting and commenced in February 2021 with an initial audit phase that identified the precise locations and characteristics of the Town’s existing streetlights. LED installation is expected to begin in Winter 2021 and be completed in Spring 2022. Not only will the project reduce the Town’s energy use, but it will also improve the color and quality of light throughout the Town – resulting in significant cost savings and increased public safety.  

A live installation tracker can be viewed by clicking here.  As the contractor completes installations starting in January, the map will update in real time.  Please note the data reflected in this map is live data which, on occasion, can be subject to input errors or discrepancies. The GIS team will be reviewing the installation data daily to confirm its accuracy.  For more information about the Streetlight Conversion Project, please visit the Town's project page by clicking here.
