Jerry Danforth, Director of Facilities and Capital Projects: KFDA reported that the project replaces aging lights in seven parks, swapping wooden poles for metal ones. Jerry Danforth, director of facilities and capital projects, said, "We've actually had wooden poles snap in the wind," and "They're not very efficient lighting systems and they've become a safety hazard."
