Main Street - Independence, Oregon Working Street Lamps

The new street lamps in Independence are pedestrian-scaled, meaning simply that the lamps are located more closely to the ground, where they can better illuminate sidewalks -- not the tops of trees, as the old cobra-style highway lamps did. But the new lamps also serve other functions, including banner and hanging basket displays (above, left), and as a place to group outdoor merchandise displays (above, right).
