Street Lights

The city of Boise maintains street lights on public streets maintainted 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.
