Allen Park City Neighbors

We are currently have Petitions signed for Street Lighting at our four Entrances.(Princess dr./ Bishop / QueensWay / KingsWay) Neighbors will be knocking on your door for your thoughts and signtures. Please be friendly, they are just tring to help improve our subdivision and our safety. These program is set up through Canton Township and DTE. The first Petition is only to see if we, as a subdivision, have an interest in Entrance Lighting. Canton TWP will then conduct their own survey along with DTE. Pricing will THEN be broken down on a per lot bases. We will then have another chance to vote on it at a Board Hearing. After the lights are instulled, the Township bills each property owner in the district their proportionate share. The first billing will also include the one-time contribution charge. The maintenance charge will then be billed each year on our winter tax bill. The amount can increase or decrease, depending on the amount DTE charges the Township. What are your thoughts and concerns?

Lighting

Frankly, I do not see the value in lighting the entrances. As a resident for 31 years I always thought lighting the streets in the sub would increase visibility at night. But the common complaint was ''I don't want one in front of my house''. Street lighting is more invasive and more costly than entrance lighting and in these economic times may be ill-timed.

Lighting

We have lived here for 29 years and have not seen a need for street lights. I don't understand the need for lighting the entrances to the sub. I never have had a problem finding my way home and visitors have always found their way to my house. I also feel in these economic times my family has other needs more important than street lights.

Entrance Lighting

This project is ONLY for ENTRANCE LIGHTS. A total of 4 (four) lights. one off of Prince/ Lilley, one off of Bishop/ Lilley, one off of KingsWay/Cherry Hill and one off of QueensWay/Cherry Hill. No lighting in the subdivision...For the cost, i feel this is a great deal...
