Streetlight Updates
Currently scheduled for the first quarter of 2026, Southern California Edison (SCE) will be upgrading the streetlights within the Village Cottages community.
SCE utilizes GE Evolve Roadway Fixtures as the LED replacement technology. The fixtures are reliable, dark sky compliant, and robust in a variety of weather conditions. These lights provide vastly improved “visual acuity”, leading to increased night-time visibility and a safer environment.
Fixture replacements will be conducted quickly and safely, with virtually no disruption to local residents. There are no required outages and crews can work curbside safely.
