Many residents have contacted me with concerns about the lights on Tomken Road.  Staff have looked into these concerns and advised me of the following:

• Bloor St. to Burnhamthorpe Rd:  Concerns regarding lighting level being too low:  Staff have reanalysed the illumination levels along this section of roadway and determined the illumination levels meet the standars adopted by the City.
• Intersection street lights:  LED lights at most intersections, though similar in appearance, vary in their light distribution pattern from the lights installed along a straight stretch of road.  Intersection lights are expected to be completed by the end of summer.
• Lights ON 24/7:  In some cases, where the radios in the lights cannot communicate with surrounding lights due to a large distance between the lightsmay remain on 24/7 until the gaps are closed with other LED lights.  Staff are making every effort to reduce the time the lights stay ON during the day.  The lights remaining ON at the intersection of Tomken and Runningbrook are the old high pressure sodium luminaires which will be converted to LED shortly.
• Rathburn Rd.:  The LED lights for sections on Rathburn Rd. are expected to be delivered and scheduled for installation shortly.
