"streetlights"

Councillor Chloé Bourgois has proposed an accelerated plan to address the backlog of broken streetlights across the city. This item brings the proposal forward for council consideration to improve public lighting maintenance and safety.

The council approved an accelerated plan to address the backlog of broken streetlights. This includes prioritizing repairs in sensitive areas (schools, parks, main roads) and authorizing the use of an external contractor to speed up the process while the city continues its long-term LED conversion project.

Councillor Chloé Bourgeois has given notice that she will introduce a resolution on October 20, 2026, to implement an accelerated intervention plan to repair defective streetlights across the city.

This item concerns the ongoing project to convert city streetlights to LED technology to improve energy efficiency.

Council authorized a feasibility study for converting approximately 15,400 'cobra' style streetlights to LED technology. This project, managed through the Fédération québécoise des municipalités (FQM), is expected to generate significant annual energy savings.

This item awards a contract for the maintenance, repair, and installation of street lighting poles and new streetlights across the city.

The city is awarding a one-year contract to Séguin Morris inc. for the repair and installation of lighting poles and streetlights for approximately $546,283.02 (taxes included).
