Overview

The Richmond Hill Infrastructure and Engineering Services Department's municipal street lighting design requirements, linked from the city's site alteration permit page, for when a new driveway or entrance moves an existing municipal street light. It covers lights on their own standards and on hydro poles, where pole relocations go through Alectra, and lists clearances such as a 1.2 m clear zone from the curb or driveway edge, 0.6 m from sidewalks and 6.0 m from street trees, cost responsibility, trench details, and a photometric analysis where the shift is significant.

What it covers

  • Existing Municipal Street Light Standards
  • Existing Municipal Street Lights Mounted to Hydro Poles
