City Hall Lighting
The city was awarded $667,000 in federal and provincial infrastructure funding to enhance lighting around the perimeter of Kitchener City Hall (Young, King, College and Duke streets). The city also contributed $333,000 in funding, which means the total amount allocated for this project was $1 million.
Project background
The lighting upgrades have enhanced the look of Civic Square; addressed some of the perceived safety issues; and showcased city hall as one of the main architectural features of the city.
Environmentally friendly aspects of the project include the replacement of old lighting technology with better, energy-efficient technology.
