The County, however, required them to install an expensive "mast arm" type of light fixture which was estimated to cost from $200,000-$250,000, by Leary Management's traffic engineer. Leary Manage- ment retained us to help persuade the county to allow a less expensive concrete or steel "strain pole" style light pole, a light pole as durable as a "mast arm" light fixture, yet which would cost less than $100,000 to install. Leary Management's position seemed reasonable, especially since the State would be improving the intersection in a few years anyway and would be taking down the light during construction. After much effort and with help from our elected representatives, the County eventually agreed to allow Leary Management to install the less expensive "strain pole" style traffic light fixture, saving Leary Management over $100,000.
