New Lighting in the Wharf
In February 2012, the Staunton Downtown Development
Association was awarded a Main Street Downtown
Improvement grant valued at $25,000 to fund the upgrade of
Downtown Service District streetscape lighting in The Wharf,
Staunton Station and Middlebrook Avenue areas. This upgrade has been completed through the leveraging of a strong
partnership between the SDDA, the City of Staunton and the
Public Works Department.
The Public Works Department installs new
lighting on Middlebrook Avenue.
Original Lighting on Middlebrook
42 fixtures in the target areas were installed
a part of the Downtown Streetscape Plan in
the 1980’s. Original fixtures emitted 3,200
lumens from 42 watt compact fluorescents.
Much of that light was lost up into the sky
and did not illuminate sidewalks.
New Lighting on Middlebrook
The Main Street grant funded new luminaries
with 70 watt metal halide lights that emit 5,500
lumens directed toward the walkways. The new
lights will use less energy and satisfy the dark
sky initiative. It is estimated that this will increase the light level on the walkways by 3 to 4
times.
