Well, of course. I assume the part of DTE that would be providing this service is part of the regulated utility, and that this would fall under appropriate, reasonable regulation. If not, then the discussion is quite different.
One thing is sure. The City of Detroit has zero business being involved in running any public lighting. Public lighting is a commodity business. Done pretty much the same everywhere in the world. The City's time and energy should be focused on city services such as garbage, police, fire, ordinance enforcement and the like.
