Speaking Out:

Over 1300 outdoor lights have been added to the front yards, porches and driveways of homes and apartment buildings in University City since the unveiling of the UC Brite program last winter, and another 300 installations are in the works (the map at right shows where the work stood at the end of July). For homeowners and landlords who signed up by Labor Day, all of the work is due to be completed by December. Vice President Carol Scheman called it a "phenomenal response" to the cooperative venture spearheaded by PECO, the Philadelphia Partnership and area owners, and has extended the final deadline for sign-up to September 30 to accommodate homeowners who may have been away during the summer. Through UC Brite (which is the phone number as well as the name of the program), owners choose and buy their own fixtures, then are reimbursed for half the cost of the fixtures and the installation.
