Recognizing the City of Los Angeles’ 233d Birthday on September 4th, Windsor Square Association Vice President and Streetlights Committee Chairman, John H. Welborne, observed that “the promised installation of new streetlights in New Windsor Square should be accomplished in less time than 233 years. In fact, there is positive news to report.”
According to Paul Newman, the Windsor Square resident who has been overseeing the volunteer committees working with the City’s Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL), some work will be commencing soon. “The BSL has informed us,” said Newman, ” that BSLÂ crews are preparing to commence some of the underground work in advance of the pole installations.” A number of Windsor Square residents already have fully paid their shares of the cost of the streetlights, with assessments having been collected or commenced about a year ago.
Newman added that he understands that the custom streetlight poles, being made specially to match the traditional concrete poles in New Windsor Square, have been ordered by BSL. The Bureau reports that the poles and other special fixtures should be delivered right after the start of the new year and should be installed soon thereafter.
