Street & Alley Lights 89% 97% April & May on-time numbers were lower than average not due to a delay in filling work orders, but rather a breakdown in the electronic close out of service requests in Hansen. This spring, DDOT synchronized its work order system (iSlims) with Hansen. This process caused inconsistencies and delays at first, but the two systems are working pretty consistently now. The results should reflect the effectiveness of our new streetlight performance-based contract which has improved on-time performance.
