Hid lights

The proliferation of traffic signals could end up creating as many as three City of Manteca jobs while reducing taxpayer expenditures. 

In the coming months the city will explore the feasibility of bringing traffic signal and street light maintenance in house starting possibly in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014. 

The City Council last week renewed contracts with Siemens Industry for $150,000 to maintain Manteca’s 4,000-plus street lights and $275,000 to maintain traffic signals at 48 city intersections. Traffic signals at off-ramps and on East Highway 120 are the responsibility of Caltrans. 

Back in the 1990s the city opted to use a private sector contractor after research showed they were less expensive than the contract they had at the time with Caltrans. 

Since then the number of traffic signals has more than doubled in Manteca. City Manager Karen McLaughlin noted staff believes the economies of scale may have reached a point that municipal staff can do the work. 

The city will examine the staffing needs that McLaughlin indicated may involve three people — someone trained to do the work, someone on the ground for safety purposes to direct traffic and such, and a back-up for the technician.

Council members suggested McLaughlin contact nearby cities such as Ripon and Lathrop to see if a joint effort could save even more money. 

Manteca would also have to acquire equipment needed to perform the work. Once those figures are taken into account the staff will compare it against retaining a private firm and present the findings to the council.

Only the top image is actually on the wall here on the 3rd floor of the DMN and it’s the one that wasn’t published. I encourage our shooters to share outtakes since the audience here has most likely seen the published ones. But showing the below photo gives the needed context to make Ms. West’s argument work. There’s obviously a considerable difference in light levels between the one end of the street and the other, where solar lights were installed. At some point she’ll be seeing more light.
