Requesting Historic District Street Lights -- Doable?

Speak to your local Community Board, as well as your local BID (Business Improvement District). Oftentimes, the restoration or installation are projects of one or both.

I live in the Cobble Hill historic district, and have seen beautiful historic street lights on Clinton Street, but not many other blocks of the district. You can see them here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/nycdot-streetdesignmanual-interior-04-lighting.pdf Am wondering: How does the City decide which blocks get these and which do not? Is there a process by which residents can request the historic street lighting? Has anyone had success in petitioning for these, and can you offer guidance? Thanks!
