The City’s leaders want to leave the lights on. Tallahassee City Commissioner Nancy Miller says the Long Range Planning committee she heads is looking into a plan that would replace the present lights in the chain of parks downtown with more efficient LED lights. The goal is to keep those lights on year-round rather than just during the holiday season.
“The Ponce de Leon Park, which is between Monroe and Adams, is the priority and those lights, we hope to have this all in place, so that we can leave those lights on during the session if the installation of the new lights is not complete,” Miller says.
A line of more than two dozen Live Oak trees in the three parks are fitted with lights, which are left up year round. Miller says the lights currently in the trees are due to be replaced.
