  • Streetlight design incremental cost data sheet (DDS)

    This spreadsheet is used to calculate incremental maintenance costs when selecting decorative and non-decorative street lighting in new subdivision or standard developments. This datasheet must be submitted for all subdivisions.

  • Luminaire replacement chart

    The City of Calgary is transitioning to the new version of the RoadFocus Plus series by Signify. This replacement chart will apply to current street lighting designs that are in IFC or construction stage to help with the transition to new luminaires. Once the current inventory for the Signify luminaire depletes no new orders will be made.

Streetlight design bulletins

The City of Calgary is currently in the process of updating our streetlight design standards which is a lengthy process. In the absence of having an updated standard to share at this time, the streetlight design bulletins can be used as a supplemental reference to the existing 2016 design guidelines for street lighting.

Streetlight bids

The City of Calgary changed to electronic bidding. All new solicitations will be posted on Ariba (The City of Calgary's Ariba discovery page). The City invites any interested bidder who can fulfill the bid requirements to respond to advertised opportunities. See information on responding to bid opportunities.

Wireless infrastructure on streetlight poles

Drafting

The City of Calgary’s CAD Standard replaces APPENDIX B: STREETLIGHTING DRAFTING STANDARDS from the 2016 design guidelines for streetlighting.

Blocks, line styles, layers and The City’s coordinate system can be found within the Civil Template. Example title blocks and other general information can be found in the General Template. Both templates are available for download in the streetlight drafting templates listing below.

Please review the website for updates at the start of every year. After reviewing the information at the link above, if you have any drafting related questions, please email IIS AIM Traffic street lighting
