5.0   Assessment of Streetlighting Standards

5.1   Introduction

The Town of Lacombe has a concern that the lighting levels called for in Road and Transportation Association of Canada (RTAC) guidelines are in excess of what is desired. This results in brighter than desired streets and, of course, extra costs in energy and facilities to support these levels. The Town has allowed deviation from RTAC, but not to any particular guideline and would like to be able to declare a guideline for all future streetlight designs outside the jurisdiction of Alberta Transportation.
