Residents of Racine Ave. near Leland may have noticed recent repeated streetlight outages on Racine. 

The Dept. of Water Management struck a cable when performing an emergency dig on the corner of Leland & Racine and this caused repeated streetlight outages in the area. The Bureau of Electricity (BOE) continually responded to service requests to restore the service when requests were put into 311. However, the lighting was intermittent because of the cut cable.

Now that the cause of the problem has been identified, BOE is in the permit process to make the needed repairs and will start the work on Monday, May 4th. This should solve the problem of continued outages on Racine.
