RAMAPO – The Town of Ramapo has completed the first phase of a new initiative intended to reduce energy use and increase public safety.
On Tuesday, August 8, the town took the first steps toward implementing the Smart Streetlight project, which involved removal and replacement of older streetlights with LED streetlights equipped with intelligent sensors and remote monitoring capabilities throughout various neighborhoods in Ramapo.
These energy-efficient streetlights will provide enhanced visibility and safety for pedestrians and drivers alike.
“We are thrilled to witness the successful completion of Phase 1 of our Smart Streetlight Project,” said Town Supervisor Michael Specht. “The positive impact of these modern streetlights on our community has been remarkable, and we are excited to embark on the next phase to further leverage technology for the betterment of our town.”
The second phase of the project will see installation of the new lights in other areas of the town and will add over 1,500 new streetlights to areas that had limited or no lights in the past.
The first of the new lights were installed at the intersection of West Maple Avenue and Smolley Drive, illuminating Viola Park in Monsey.
