The striking round lights on Schuyler Avenue have been replaced with a higher quality version for free. These lights feature a 75,000 Hour Rated Life expectancy (approximately 20 years) and are installed on a cable system over the roadway, an improvement from the previous system that required cords along the road.

The lights require only 12 Volts electricity while also being larger and more frequently placed, enhancing the avenue’s atmosphere while providing more light for pedestrians walking in Downtown Kankakee. 

The lights were installed by Utility Dynamics.
