Led by the Lake Charles Downtown Development Authority Board, the city installed decorative fixtures, and both citizens and municipal officials evaluated and compared LED and metal halide technology. In addition to new streetlights, the Ryan Streetscape project has a “street calming” component which involves reducing the downtown thoroughfare to two lanes, widening sidewalks and improving pedestrian traffic flow. The city plans to install about one hundred new decorative fixtures in the downtown area of Lake Charles. The new fixtures will be owned and maintained by the city.
