The installation of these new streetlights are part of the City’s efforts to improve safety on the road for both motorists and pedestrians.

“We’re thrilled to complete this project. We value the fantastic partnership we have with Southern California Edison and appreciate their efforts to provide much needed street lighting to this portion of our community,” expressed Mayor Laurene Weste. “Bouquet Canyon Road, especially the area fronting Central Park, has been the most requested location for street lighting and we’re very happy to provide these important amenities for our residents.”

Next year the City will continue to do more work to convert existing high pressure sodium light fixtures to LED streetlights. As part of Santa Clarita’s streetlight system purchase, the City will begin taking ownership and converting streetlights to LED fixtures in early 2019. More than 17,000 streetlight poles throughout Santa Clarita are expected to be converted to LED fixtures by the fall of 2019.

The LED fixtures will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 60.5% as compared to the existing light fixtures. The estimated reduction in electricity usage of 6,302,983 kWh per year is equivalent to eliminating the greenhouse gases from 936 automobiles, or eliminating the CO2 emissions from more than 498,434 gallons of gasoline.

  1. The lights are obtrusive and annoying !!!! Try driving up Bouquet Canyon in a lower profile vehicle, it’s like having headlights directly into your eyes !!! I literally have to put my sun visor down on my vehicle because the LIGHTS SHINE RIGHT INTO MY EYES!!! Isn’t there a lower intensity of lighting that the city can use ?????????? I feel like I’m driving up to the jail the lights are so horribly bright. I’m all for safety, but these lights are horrible. If this is the same lighting the city is planning on replacing with our streetlight project, something has to be changed !!!!!!
