Village of Whitefish Bay issued the following announcement on Feb 21.
On Monday, the Village Board will consider a recommendation from the Whitefish Bay Public Works Committee regarding street light installations in public alleys. There are a total of 50 public alleys in the Village totaling approximately 4.7 miles. Currently, about 40% of the Village alleys are illuminated by alley street lights provided by WE Energies. About 60% of the Village alleys do not have alley street lights. In the pictured map, blue lines indicate alleys and yellow dots indicate alley street lights.
At the meeting on February 15, 2022 the Public Works Committee recommended that the Village Board establish a homeowner petition process to add alley street lighting on Village alleys that are currently unlit. Monthly power costs and one time capital installation costs would be incurred by the Village. The Public Works Committee recommended that 55% of existing homeowners on the entire block adjacent to an unlit alley to be in favor of the alley lighting initiative prior to the Village approval and requesting WE Energies to proceed with the alley light installations. A simple petition form would be created by Village Staff pending Village Board approval.
