Poles light up Kyle council

By Andy Sevilla

While it’s not too common, it’s not unheard of for a vehicle to clip a light post on a public street, warranting its replacement. But one Kyle neighborhood wants to make sure those replacement streetlight poles remain, for lack of a better word, fancy.

Benchmark Development, the developers of Plum Creek in western Kyle, is proposing a policy change for replacement poles; the Homeowners Association (HOA) will pay the difference between the city’s cost to replace their decorative poles and the cost of a standard city light pole.
