  • S. 2nd Street,
  • Live Oak Avenue,
  • S. Pace Boulevard,
  • W. Garden Street (US 98/SR 30),
  • W. Jackson Street,
  • W. Cervantes (US 90/SR 10A),
  • W. Jordan Street,
  • St. Mary Avenue,
  • W. Fairfield Drive (SR 295), and

The plan calls for Gulf Power installed and maintain the lighting.
