At the present time, our repairs are averaging about 60 days. However recently the Mayor authorized City Light to spend an additional $2.1 million to work through the back log of reported streetlights. In addition, there are monies available to complete Phase II of our group re-lamping program. Phase II will focus on the area that includes: Lake Washington the east; Elliot Bay on the west; Denny Way to the north and Brandon Street to the south. We will replace all of the streetlights within this area. Phase III and Phase IV will be completed in 2010 and 2011 respectively if funds are available. This will allow us to get on a planned four-year cycle for streetlight replacement. In addition, the City is applying for federal stimulus money to begin replacement of 40,000 streetlights with energy-efficient LED lights. Our target is to have all reported streetlights repaired sometime this Fall and to get back on a regular 10-day response cycle. If your light has not been repaired in 90 days, please email SCL_StreetLightEscalations@Seattle.Gov and provide the ticket number of your original request. We appreciate your patience as we work to get caught up as soon as possible.
