STREET LIGHT RECOVERY UPDATE FOR COFFEY PARK (September 2020)
Post-fire streetlight recovery is being implemented in a phased-in approach in coordination with PG&E to replace 231 fire-damaged streetlights in the Coffey Park area. The first phase of streetlight restoration was completed earlier this month in the area of Coffey Park located north of Hopper Avenue and east of Coffey Lane. As new streetlights are installed and energized, PG&E will remove the temporary streetlights. The streetlight restoration process for the remaining recovery phases is experiencing a temporary delay as a result of an industry-wide concrete shortage. Streetlight recovery in the Coffey park area is anticipated to be completed before the end of the year; weather and material availability permitting.
