New Lighting in the Wharf In February 2012, the Staunton Downtown Development Association was awarded a Main Street Downtown Improvement grant valued at $25,000 to fund the upgrade of Downtown Service District streetscape lighting in The Wharf, Staunton Station and Middlebrook Avenue areas. This upgrade has been completed through the leveraging of a strong partnership between the SDDA, the City of Staunton and the Public Works Department. The Public Works Department installs new lighting on Middlebrook Avenue. Original Lighting on Middlebrook 42 fixtures in the target areas were installed a part of the Downtown Streetscape Plan in the 1980’s. Original fixtures emitted 3,200 lumens from 42 watt compact fluorescents. Much of that light was lost up into the sky and did not illuminate sidewalks. New Lighting on Middlebrook The Main Street grant funded new luminaries with 70 watt metal halide lights that emit 5,500 lumens directed toward the walkways. The new lights will use less energy and satisfy the dark sky initiative. It is estimated that this will increase the light level on the walkways by 3 to 4 times.
