A new pole between the curb and sidewalk would then be installed with an overhead aerial line that would run between the two poles. If there are any trees between these two poles that would conflict with the overhead wire, then the light cannot be installed.  Removal of such conflicting trees or limbs would be the responsibility of the homeowner/resident.  Since in some cases the street light would be installed between two separate properties, it is extremely important that both homeowners are aware and accept the above terms.  If you are interested in having an inspection for possible street light installation, please contact Gary Hurtado, Traffic Engineering Technician, at 972-721-2646.  This is a great way of increasing visibility and therefore safety within Sherwood Forest.  Again, please keep in mind that all services listed above,
with the exception of tree/limb removal, are completely free of charge for the homeowner/resident.
