Since the Mayor’s announcement about the ‘Lights On’ project to take place this Sunday evening, dozens have already called in to volunteer, and to report the burnt out street lights in town, Mayor Menashe Miller tells TLS. Miller says the ‘POLE’ phone number designated to report burnt out lights has already received about 25 phone calls, and about 25 residents have already volunteered to assist in Sunday night’s project.
The project was announced during the last Committee meeting, where the Mayor vowed to have all the street lights turned on in town before his term is up.
The Mayor says he hopes to have between 60-70 volunteers to canvass the town to report the burnt out lights. With that amount of volunteers, it would take approximately 15-20 minutes for each volunteer to complete his designated ‘zone’.
Those interested in volunteering their time for this project, are asked to meet up at the Municipal Auditorium (Town Hall) at 7:00 PM Sunday night. Flashlights, clipboards and Safety Reflective Belts will be provided. Drivers as well as non-drivers are welcome. Non-drivers will be paired up with those who have vehicles.
To report a burnt out light, you can call 732-364-2500, and enter the numbers corresponding to the letters POLE (7653) and you will be directed to the proper department. TLS.
Even the streetlights that work are so dim rendering them almost useless:(
what is there to do to get a street light put in? we already sent a letter months ago requesting a street light, since its really dark on our street.
I have to say, that driving around Lakewood at night has become a nightmare. New central, miller, and all of those side streets are basically dark, Kol hakavod, to getting this problem solved
If the street light is very dim report it and it will be fixed, I did and it was fixed.
Thank you Ace 59 for all your help. Could not have put this together in such a short amount of time with out your tireless effort for the K’lal.

Before I ask anything I would like to thank all those who put this together and all whom are going to help out with this wounderful cause. Thx
But why is it that the homeowners, tax payers are fighting and doing jobs of other. I as a store owner in the town lkwd , paying my taxes should not have to go around and do this. This is what we pay JCP&L for.
Can someone please help me understand it ?

JCP&L is not responsible to check for outages. They are responsible to repair them if they are reported. It seems like the Mayor just got fed up with JCP&L saying they don’t have a report of outages so he devised this project to canvass the entire town in one swoop- brilliant idea!
I gotta hand it to the Mayor, I am very impressed with this innitiative. This is the way to get stuff done. Pick an important issue and include everyone in resolving the issue. This is an important issue and a great way of resolving it.
