I traveled down Grand River between McNichols and the Southfield Freeway late Friday night and counted every street light working except one at McNichols and Grand River. Pretty impressive to see all the new LED lights shining very bright. Many of the side streets in Rosedale Park and North Rosedale Park are getting new lamp posts and LED lights. Still waiting for Outer Drive south of Grand River to get some new lights soon. Kudos to those in charge of getting the lights back on.
How does the brightness compare with the previous lights?Quote:

There's a new LED light at the corner of Grandville and Midland in Rosedale Park and the house across the street is in complete darkness. However, on Grand River, with the new lights, it;s like night and day.
Good to hear about the lights coming on.
When I was in town [[early July) I drove from Comerica to 94 via 2nd or 3rd [[not sure which) and there wasn't a light to be found. This was the night game vs. Dodgers. [[guess it was part of my see-Detroit-sans-daylight-or-lights-tour.)
Not good. Kind of wish I had taken Woodward.
This time it will be tamper proof.
YAY Duggan!

Give it some time. The Detroit Lighting Dept. is lighting up Detroit ghetto hoods one LED lighting at a time.Quote:
