He explained he has received a proposal back from National Grid to 8update the streetlight on the north end of the tunnel and to install a new one on the south end of the tunnel. He explained he has gotten the photo metrics for the lights, which is a graph that shows the spread of the light that the particular luminary will provide. He explained he has done some engineering math to figure out if the light will go all the way through the tunnel, as the Council requested. He explained with the proposed luminaries and a tweak of position, there is an intersection of two lights in the tunnel. He explained he did not take into account the reflective light going into the tunnel with the bright galvanized finish and the ripples reflecting light. He explained when you look at the surface of the sidewalk, there will be a point where the light flow will intersect, so he is confident the entire inside of the tunnel will be lit with these two lights. He explained the Council will need to pass a resolution to add one new light as well as one to change the arm on the other light that is currently in place. 4. New Referrals for Consideration None 5.
