Location | Detroit, Michigan |
Roosevelt Park is a flagship location and a priority for the city of Detroit during its efforts towards renewal and growth. Harlan Electric, which was founded in Detroit in 1940, supported this latest step in Detroit’s transformation by performing all the streetlight work in Roosevelt Park for the Detroit Public Lighting Authority (PLA), who was working in conjunction with General Services of the City of Detroit which manages all the city’s parks. Harlan Electric crews installed all the interior and exterior streetlighting for Roosevelt Park which included 50 light poles. All the power for the lights was fed underground, so this required installation of foundations, trenching (7,500 feet of trenching and boring to accommodate more than 15,000 feet of conduit), wire pulling, and pole setting. The lighting fixtures were the same decorative fixtures used throughout the adjacent historic Corktown neighborhood.
