The City of Edmonton asks the Community League for a single recommendation for decorative street lights - that’s what we did this week (June 18th specifically). The City then takes that recommendation and surveys all the property owners in Malmo to see which they prefer: The no-cost plain galvanized street light or the extra cost decorative option.

This means the decision to move forward with the decorative street lights has not been made.

For Malmo to get the fancy street lights, the City needs 20% of the property owners to respond to the survey *AND* 50% plus 1 of the responses must be in favour of the upgraded light.
