1st Quarter Update
January 2023

In Q1, staff worked with ONCOR to create a list of LED lights previously installed in the City of DeSoto. Next steps in this process is to create a policy for Council consideration that will outline priorities for LED streetlight conversion. Development Services staff is also working to add the LED requirement to the City’s Paving Design Manual to require developers to install LED street light fixtures and bulbs in all new development sites. Public hearings for these changes are expected to conducted in February 2023.
