The Town of Berlin is conducting a streetlight inventory and would like feedback from area residents. There are 83 streetlights in Berlin each costing at least $11 per month for a total of $10,800 a year. In an effort to trim the municipal budget and conserve electrical use, approximately 11 streetlights have been recommended for removal. The goal is to have a well-lit , safe and functional night time environment without over-lighting.  The remaining streetlights may be replaced with LED fixtures which last longer, use less electricity and offer good light rendition with a truer but cooler light tone.  A trial outage is planned in February 2012.
