Dollard des Ormeaux and Sainte Anne de Bellevue have made changing street lamp technology a priority. Both cities are investing in low-energy decorative light-emitting diode lighting to save money as well as reduce their carbon footprint. Sainte Anne has been working on the transition for two years. According to Mayor Paola Hawa, the rollout will take place over ten years.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year we set aside $50,000 in our regular budget to change older, inefficient street lights to new, more energy-efficient models,\u201d Hawa told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview.<\/p>\n

The model chosen will point the light where it\u2019s needed and away from the sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe benefits will be twofold\u2014we are going to save money by reducing energy consumption and reduce light pollution at the same time,\u201d Hawa said.<\/p>\n

According to Hawa, this year the city will be able to double the amount of lamps it converts to the new technology, after it found a less costly model with more advanced technology than it used during the past two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new Philips Roadview models cost 60 percent less than the ones that were installed in the past,\u201d Hawa explained. \u201cWe are set to go to tender after the April public council meeting. There are also grants available to encourage cities to go green, so we may do even more than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dollard des Ormeaux will is also looking toward changing its decorative street light technology, according to DDO road network section head \u00c9ric B\u00e9langer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the process of testing five models of lighting and we have instructions from council to move quickly so we can get started on the work as soon as possible,\u201d he explained. \u201cOnce we finish the study, we will make a recommendation to council.\u201d<\/p>\n

At its April meeting DDO city council a $6 million budget for the project, part of which B\u00e9langer hopes will be covered by energy-saving incentive grants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
