Street Lights

Streetlight Energy Upgrade Project Notice

Beginning this spring and into fall, residents will see workers in neighborhoods converting high-pressure sodium (HPS) lightbulbs in residential streetlights to more energy-efficient LED fixtures.

The project will continue through the summer and is expected to be completed by the fall. The project will save the city an estimated $60,000 in annual operating costs and move us more quickly toward our 2030 clean electricity goals.

Downtown street

The City of Boise maintains street lights on public streets maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). Boise's street lighting system consists of a combination of lights owned by the city and lights owned by Idaho Power. We have approximately 10,000 lights in our public system, with an additional 300 new street lights installed each year. These are installed as a requirement for development, part of a street upgrade, or installed under one of the city's annual capital improvement projects.
