Pinellas County Public Works assigned this issue to Pinellas County Public Works - Traffic Engineering

This request has been forwarded to the Residential Traffic Manager/Street Light Coordinator for action.

Responded via direct email with information on Pinellas County's Street Lighting District info...

There is no street light, so how is this issue closed and why should i say thanks since nothing was done. When a kid gets hurt or someone get hurt , i know who to sue .

Did you receive my email sent to anthonyhill360@outlook.com (the email address you provided)?
It explains how street lighting in unincorporated Pinellas County is handled.

The County does not tax for street lighting like municipalities do, so we don’t provide it. It’s much like the garbage pickup in unincorporated Pinellas County, we don’t tax for the service, so we don’t provide it. Property owners in unincorporated Pinellas have to pay for their street lights, either directly to Duke Energy, or by setting up a street lighting district (SLD) thru the County. With a County controlled SLD, we pay the bill monthly, but re-coup those monies, as well as an admin fee, each year by way of a non-ad valorem assessment on the property tax bills of those property owners within the SLD.

As there is no SLD in your area, your neighbor must be paying Duke Energy directly for that light in his back yard, as I have no record of it. There is no way for me to have that private light adjusted as you requested.

If you would like more information on the County’s SLD program, or if you want to investigate having your own light put up at this intersection, please let me know and I will provide whatever information you require.

Thank you,
