What are the options to repair the street lights?

One option is to do nothing. Doing nothing entails more street light outages and repairs based on PG&E’s availability and the City’s finances. A more permanent solution is to determine a financing plan that pays for street light circuit conversion to lower voltage and eliminate the High Voltage Regulatory Output (RO) equipment. One plan evaluated by the City is the creation of a special assessment district to fund these improvements and expedite a permanent solution. View more information on assessment districts (PDF).
