Bonita wants new street lights for U.S. 41
Bonita Springs want a new street lighting system on U.S. 41 rather than a patched-up collection of the current broken lights.
The city paid nearly $500,000 as part of the U.S. 41 widening project to get more decorative street lights and has agreed to take over maintenance of the lighting system once it is working properly.
The decorative lights were installed during the Astaldi Construction Co.'s six-laning of U.S. 41 for the Florida Department of Transportation, which was a projected marred by multiple delays. Although the project has been open to traffic for nearly two years and accepted as complete for a year, the lighting system never worked properly.
FDOT is completing a study with subcontractor Atlas Traffic Management Systems of all 209 street lights to figure out what the problem is.
Bonita City Manager Gary Price announced in today's City Council meeting that his staff won't take over maintenance of that system if it is just patchwork of something that has never worked properly.

Aren't the lights on 41 the same as those along old 41 and the stretch of Bonita Beach Road to Rt 75?
If so, say so. or are they the New & Improved model?
Will you continue soft peddling this blunder?
