COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Springs residents living under darkened streetlights may have to get used to it.
Or, they can fork over $100 or $240, depending on the type of light, to turn one back on for 12 months.
The city, which deactivated about one-third of the streetlights this year to save money, plans to continue its streetlight adoption program in 2011.
“The city is in the process of meeting with (Colorado Springs Utilities) and key city staff to determine the specifics of the 2011 program,” interim City Manager Steve Cox said in a report to Mayor Lionel Rivera and the City Council.
Unless the budget changes, the plan is for the city to start accepting new streetlight adoptions Oct. 1 and renewals for existing adoptions Nov. 1, according to Cox’s report.
