EAST ARLINGTON POLICE STATION PARKING LOTS AMONG LATEST CITY FACILITIES TO TRANSITION TO LED LIGHTING
Parking lots at the East Arlington Police Service Center are a bit brighter for employees and visitors this month as part of the City ’ s ongoing efforts to transition to energy-saving LED light bulbs .
Arlington ’ s Asset Management crews have retrofitted more than 100 lights in public facility parking lots across the city from metal halide to LED over the past three years , including 23 lights at the East police station on New York Avenue . The LED bulbs provide better light quality , last longer and reduce the City ’ s maintenance costs , said Joe Bowman , Asset Management facility services manager . The LED lights also save the City an estimated 50 % on energy costs .

Hawkes Central Library , the North Park and Ride parking lot and at the South Service Center on Southwest Green Oaks Boulevard . Crews previously improved lighting at the South Police District Service Center , the Northeast , Southeast and Southwest branch library locations and City Hall .
