San Bernardino News Daily Local news for San Bernardino, about San Bernardino.
Two neighborhoods in the northern part of San Bernardino are now a little safer. The City recently installed and activated 96 new streetlights, bringing a new walkability and sense of security to area residents.
“Some of these streets have been without lighting for several years,” said City of San Bernardino Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer Azzam Jabsheh. “Restoring lighting makes a huge difference to our neighborhoods and is a priority for us.”
The ”Genevieve” Circuit, located between Mountain View Avenue and Sierra Way from Marshall Boulevard to 34th Street, included 36 lights and poles.
The “Ralston” Circuit includes portions of Sierra Way, Ralston Avenue, Palmyra Avenue, Lugo Avenue, Belle Street, Sonora Drive, and 39th Street near Waterman Avenue. 60 new lights and poles were installed.
Measure S funds were used for this project.
The San Bernardino City Council also recently approved $1.5 million to be spent upgrading approximately 500 streetlights to solar power to reduce lighting costs and eliminate the risk of copper wire theft.
