Examination of Street Lighting Practice in Gainesville
Abstract
City lightning for municipalities is an esoteric engineering discipline that is crucial to motorist and pedestrian comfort, security and safety. With the advent of the energy crisis in the seventies, city lighting has emerged nation-wide as a practical target for energy conservation effort, which unfortunately often lack definitive planning. In Gainesville, large differences exist between the needs demanded in areas with little or no lighting and areas that are over designed. These extreme lighting variations coupled with a limited corporate knowledge of the basic principles of City lighting throughout the City and State is indicative of a policy and planning vacuum in dealing with City lighting policy. Primarily, this project was envisioned as an opportunity to improve knowledge of lighting, whether as street, security, or aesthetic, gained from experts in the City of Gainesville, throughout the State of Florida and through research.
