Officials said the light poles \u2013 which would have come with a significant cost to replace \u2013 were deemed to be in good condition and can remain. At one point, officials also worried that the adjacent tennis court would need to be ripped up in order to replace electrical conduits \u2013 another problem that fortunately never came to fruition. An engineering firm hired by the borough conducted core sampling over the summer and made its determination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately, they have quite a bit of lasting life in them,\u201d Mayor John Peterson said of the poles at the time. \u201cWe\u2019re going to take down those rickety lights and replace them with the LEDs, which will be far more cost effective too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The borough expects to save about 30 percent in energy costs compared with the previously-installed vapor bulbs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/2023\/09\/seaside-park-recreation-complex-closed-4-6-weeks-for-lighting-installation\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seaside Park has announced the recreation complex which spans 13th and 14th avenues will be closed for a period of about four to six weeks as new lighting is installed.
