Dallas City Council voted March 9 to approve new streetlights as part of a broader effort to improve public safety in one northeast Dallas neighborhood.

The project consists of 26 new streetlights along Ferris Branch Boulevard and Fair Oaks Crossing. The area is located south of I-635E and north of Skillman Street.

The council’s vote also authorizes up to $572,000 from the Skillman Corridor TIF—or tax increment financing—District Fund to be transferred to the city’s transportation department to pay for the lighting, according to the resolution approved by council.

According to the mayor’s office, the lights will be completed by December.
