Flynn on $331.5M LED streetlight replacement program
Flynn announces a citywide program to replace every first-generation LED streetlight fixture, adding real-time monitoring technology to identify outages and dispatch crews more efficiently.
Illuminating NYC.
We're making historic investments in the safety, reliability, and quality of life of our neighborhoods and plan to start a $331.5 million citywide program to replace every first-generation LED streetlight fixture across New York City.
More than a decade ago, New York led the nation by converting nearly 385,000 streetlights to energy-efficient LED technology, dramatically improving visibility, reducing energy use, and lowering emissions.
Rather than relying on a costly and inefficient system that waits for lights to fail before responding to complaints, this initiative will launch a
coordinated multi-year replacement program that upgrades fixtures neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, ensuring streets remain safely illuminated while reducing maintenance delays and long-term costs.
With emerging technologies, the program will also modernize the city street light network with new real-time monitoring technology that can immediately identify outages, diagnose problems remotely, and dispatch crews more efficiently.
We're a national leader in using sustainable street lighting, and we look forward to a comprehensive installation process citywide.
