Document Description
Replace 9-15 existing PG& E 16'H wood and plastic street lights (poles and lamps) with more historically accurate 12'H aluminum and glass replicas of 1850s colonial style street lights, using an 1868 photo of Columbia as documentary evidence. If the poles are replaced in their existing locations there will be no impacts. If the historic locations are used, trenching to the nearest electrical service line will be monitored by a qualified archaeologist to minimize potential impacts. The number and placement will depend on available funding. Project will enhance the historic district setting, visitor experience and public safety.
