Parkview will be illuminated by an updated lighting system this fall, as a result of the residents’ overwhelming vote (179-3) in July to finance the modernization of the system.
The impetus to improve the existing system came from the agents, after analyzing continuing high maintenance costs. frequent changes. and the lack of adequate lighting, according to Alan Wright, Parkview agent who directed the study.
According to Wright, the new system will enable the subdivision to “have one of the best street light systems of any subdivision.” Credit should be given to the residents who said that they recognize the need and are willing to pay for it.
The cost of renovating the system is expected to be $362 per household.
The improvements will include the replacement of defective underground cable, the replacement of existing luminaires with 100-watt, high-pressure sodium fixtures, replacement of the system regulator, and the addition of fifteen poletop fixtures.
The next steps are to decide which type of luminaire is to be used and to obtain competitive bids from electrical contractors.
The work itself should take between four to six weeks and is expected to be completed this fall. Investigations of other systems and discussions of possible feasible changes have been going on for more than a year. Meetings were held with contractors. Union Electric, the St. Louis City Street Light Division. and other subdivisions’ trustees or agents to examine all the possibilities for change.
The engineering firm of Ross and Baruzzini, Inc. was hired to evaluate the existing system and make’ recommendations.
It was their opinion that there is nothing wrong with a series lighting system (such as Parkview’s) so long as it has been modernized. Modern luminaires can now work off a high voltage series system.
The new luminaires will reflect the historical character of Parkview.
They may be similar to the gate lights on Skinker or they may be simple globe fixtures like those seen elsewhere in University City.
Until the new system can be established, efforts will be made to repair the existing lights, particularly those on the outer loop which have been out of commission for some time.
