School bus stop lighting funding redirected to street light purchases
Summary
Money budgeted for a consultant study of unlit school bus stops will now buy and install street lights instead, because JCPS bus drivers and Metro/LG&E staff already did the assessment. About 1,700 stops are unlit; roughly 700 are near working lights and may be relocated, leaving about 1,000 that need lights.
