The Hillcrest Business Association (HBA) approved a project to install a permanent light canopy over University Avenue, bringing 14 strings of \u201cfestoon lighting\u201d to one block of the neighborhood. Voted on at the Tuesday, Sept. 11 board meeting, the Hillcrest Light Canopy Project will see lights mounted over University Avenue between Fourth and Fifth avenues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to get moving on the canopy lighting project,\u201d said Lisa Weir, HBA marketing and communications director. \u201cThis new beautification effort features LED lights to save energy and costs, and will string bits of twinkle across University Avenue in the heart of Hillcrest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The board vote was an approval to proceed with \u201cpreliminary permitting\u201d for the project, and an \u201cauthorization to enter into agreement\u201d with a contractor, the meeting agenda stated. The work is being contracted through Berg Electric, of Escondido.<\/p>\n

As part of the contract, Berg Electric will provide and install cables attached to the buildings on either side of the street, as well as the RBG string lights attached to the cables. The company will also oversee construction and traffic-control permits.<\/p>\n

The installation will occur \u201cafter hours,\u201d the contract states, and the lights will be controlled remotely, with the ability to periodically change their colors as well as set them on a \u201cprogrammable schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also stated in the contract, the HBA agrees to pay for the project, which is not to exceed $49,785. If costs are higher, written authorization is needed for payment. The contract is good for one year, and all work must be completed within this timeframe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of work ahead of us to complete this project and we\u2019re excited that the neighborhood is behind us,\u201d Weir said. \u201cWith community support and enthusiasm we hope to have the project done before CityFest 2013.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
