Langley drivers may soon be seeing the City streets in a whole new light, if a plan to replace old streetlights goes forward.
Currently, there are 12 LED lights illuminating a section of 200 Street, which were installed as a pilot project by the City.
Rick Bomhof, director of engineering, parks and environment, said LED technology has improved significantly in recent years, making the switch worthwhile. He said that previously LED streetlights could not shine on as large an area as conventional lights, but the new generation of LED lights are now as good or even better.
Bomhof said the lights use significantly less electricity and also qualify for a subsidy from BC Hydro, making their installation financially wise.
Bomhof said he would prepare a business case for the replacement project to present to council in June.
