  • Public Lighting Depa,Rtment Capital
    (J PUBLIC LIGHTING DEPA,RTMENT CAPITAL 0 u Public Lighting Department AGENCY MISSION The mission of the Public Lighting Department (PLD) is to support the Public Lighting Authority (PLA) as it maintains the upgraded street light system. PLD works with TMC Alliance and DTE Energy (DTE) to assure the safety of the general public and to provide reliable power to customers through the City's distribution system as the City assists with converting customers to DTE's system. On February 5, 2013, the PLA was created pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012. The PLA is separate municipal authority with the mission to improve, modernize and maintain the street lighting infrastructure in the City of Detroit with brighter, more reliable, more energy efficient lights. It is a completely separate legal entity from the City of Detroit. In 2014, the PLA issued debt obligations of$185 million to fund street lighting improvements. Pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012, Utility Users' taxes of $12.5 million annually will be utilized to repay this debt issue. Through an inter-local agreement, the City provides additional funds to the PLA to finance the operations and maintenance of the lighting system. On July 1, 2014 the City entered into the Energy Delivery Services Agreement (EDSA) with DTE to transition electric customers to DTE. The agreement stipulates the City will allow PLD customers to become DTE customers and that the City will exit the electric business over a five to seven year period. During this transition period, the City, through its contraccqr will operate and maintain the electric grid with DTE reimbursing the City and its contractor for all expenses related to the delivery of electrical power.

As Detroit goes, so goes Michigan.” —Former Michigan State Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville “You are a hymnal too, I said aloud to myself. A scrap metal mantra. Beauty inside rust.” —Ken Meisel, "Detroit Hymnal" “Muscles actually have a memory of their former strength—and that memory may last indefinitely.” —Kristian Gundersen, University of Oslo Below, Detroit sprawls outward in asphalt and cement, juts upward in brick and glass, from the bank of its namesake river. A rust-colored freighter sits suspended on the waterway crossing under the Ambassador Bridge. In the near urban distance, the white-roofed Ford Field and the green diamond of Comerica Park sit side by side. The seven skyscrapers of the Renaissance Center tower over the water. Overlooking the financial district, the stately Detroit One Center. The Greater Penobscot Building. The Guard- ian Building. Minoru Yamasaki’s One Woodward Avenue building, the design of which he would borrow from to create the World Trade Center.
