I'm looking to find out more information on the gas street lamps in the cities historical neighborhoods, and more specifically the ones on Marlborough St. I walked down Marlborough the other day and one was smoldering, is this a common occurrence?
Anyone know why they are only on Marlborough St in the Back Bay? Does anyone really hate them? I know they cost 6 times as much as electric ones, and require a lot of maintenance but I'm not sure what kind of maintenance and upkeep is required. The citys cheif of streetlighting recently commented they would never go away due to their historical appeal but I'm not sure what they really contribute.
Any information would be helpful.
