Individual Streetlight Request
Overview
Residents may request a single streetlight be installed near their home. The standard installation includes a high pressure sodium fixture mounted on a wooden utility pole. If other streetlights are present on the street or in the neighborhood, the addition of an individual light must be of the same type as those existing. The streetlight is typically placed on the property line between your home and your neighbor. To start the process, contact the Streetlight Coordinator, Sandy Wise, swise@ci.charlotte.nc.us. A petition process is required, which the Streetlight Coordinator will explain to you. Once a valid petition is received, the City of Charlotte will authorize Duke Power to install the light and the City will pay for the power to operate it. Installation takes approximately six weeks.

75 Foot Petition zone

Petition requires signatures from each property owner within 75' of the proposed streetlight location. Charlotte Department of Transportation has the final authority to determine the placement and type of streetlight to be installed.
