The Smart Street Lighting initiative seeks to modernize the City’s inventory of electric streetlight infrastructure to a more energy efficient, durable, lower-cost and safer system, with the inclusion of communications technology and other ancillary components.
Context
Chicago has nearly 400,000 outdoor lights across the City. With prices for longer-lasting and more energy efficient LED lights falling dramatically over the past five years, this is an opportune time for the City and the Chicago Park District to evaluate the full inventory of street, traffic and underpass lights for a complete retrofit.
The Smart Street Lighting project may also include several cost-effective, non-lighting technology upgrades in which the streetlights are used as a platform to deliver other public goods and services, raising revenues or eliminating costs in the process. This could include technology such as wireless internet or emergency services applications.
