How long has this been a problem?

These street light systems have served these neighborhoods since the 1950s and 1960s. Periodic problems with these lights have existed for decades, especially in areas most affected by coastal fog. Street light failures have increased over the years as equipment has aged and replacement parts have become more difficult to obtain. Affected street lights typically stay off for a few days or sometimes much longer depending on the cause of the failure and how quickly PG&E or the City can respond.
