street lighting

Our need to balance lighting to ensure vehicle traffic safety while controlling light pollution is a challenge. The development of a City wide Master Street Light plan is in progress which will enable the City to be proactive in responding to our neighborhoods as they expand while limiting light pollution.  Currently, the process for requesting a street light is as follows:

Requesting a Street Light

1)  Street Light Request: Citizens must make a street light request in

      order to begin the process of acquiring a street light within their

      neighborhood. 

     a.  Contact the City of Palm Bay Public Works

          Department/Customer Service at 321-952-3438, or in person at

          1050 Malabar Rd. SE, Palm Bay, Florida.   You can also

          contact us via e-mail or you can send us an electronic  

          Customer Service Request .

     b.  The street light request is input into the City work order system

          and directed to the appropriate Public Works Department staff

          for evaluation.

2)  Street Light Request Evaluation: A Public Works Department

      Right-of-Way Use Engineering Inspector will conduct a field

      evaluation of the street light request and will inform the requestor

      of the decision.

     a.  Street Light Installation: The entire process from start

          (requesting a street light) to finish (installation of a working

           street light) may take up to 12 months.

     b.  To report Electrical Emergencies, Power Outages or Street

           Light Outages and Street Lights on during daylight hours,
