About the program

The City of Rochester provides lighting for City-owned streets. The City replaces damaged or obsolete poles, and arranges for the upgrading of lighting when necessary. Currently, when a pole is slated for replacement, a more energy-efficient version of the street light is erected in its place.

Upon request, the City may relocate existing light poles. However, residents are required to pay the costs of relocation. Generally, this request accompanies a site plan review or a Right-of-Way permit.
