Have a streetlight not working right?

Ensuring the streetlights come on each night is very important, from both a company and customer perspective and improved street lighting can help reduce crime in local neighborhoods and communities.

Here are the best ways to report a streetlight outage:

Call First Energy at 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877) and say “streetlight” after the greeting

or

Use this link to report the lighting problem online: https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/customer/service_requests/report-lighting-problem.html

- When reporting an outage, let us know:
* Your name and phone number (in case we need more information)
* Address where the streetlight is located (nearest house or business address and the nearest cross street).
* Number on the utility pole.
* What is wrong with the streetlight (damaged pole; broken light fixture; light is off at night, on during the day, or flickers).

Unfortunately, the City is no longer supporting festivals like the one that we have held for 25 years as the major fundraiser to support our projects in Kenmore. They would prefer smaller one or two-day events more oriented towards adults and political interests, not fun, parades, fireworks and fond memories of the local community.

KCC is now faced with finding alternative events to raise funds to promote community spirit and in Kenmore. We have some projects in the works, but it will ultimately be for the City to approve.

Not a bank, but United Way is going to financially empower you... Well there's still the Citizens bank over at the Acme.

United Way of Summit County, the city of Akron and Huntington National Bank announced on Thursday they would create the county's first financial empowerment center in the former 4,000-square-foot branch at 1060 Kenmore Blvd., which was donated by Huntington Bank.

So, with Huntington now hanging out the "UnWelcome" sign on Kenmore Blvd, if you're a current customer, where will you be doing your banking business?
Other Huntington branch?
Other local bank (Citizen;s at Acme, other)?
Check cashing store?

Be sure to write Hunington at 106 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308 and 17 South High St, Columbus, Ohio 43216 to tell them how well they are "committed to doing the right thing for [their] customers, colleagues, shareholders and communities" and are excelling at "contributing to the economic strength of [their] local communities by investing in business growth, partnering and volunteering to make a difference where [they] live and work."
