The Region only recently approved vendors for LED lighting. I said the same thing about the reconstruction of Franklin. There is currently an RFP out to replace 45,000 street lights with LED. Closes in a couple of weeks with the work to be completed by December 2017.
it seems silly that they purchased more of the old standard lighting knowing it was all going to be replaced in a year. I would have thought it would have been cheaper to pick something even if it isn't whatever their new standard is going to be and than in 10-20 years when the LEDs start to burn out replace the fixtures then with the new standard.
