Boyle Heights welcomes streetlight fixes
Los Angeles Times
|December 20, 2025
For runners, walkers and neighbors in Boyle Heights, several streets are a little brighter these days.
MEMBERS of the Boyle Heights Bridge Runners club now have lights for night runs. Security measures should deter copper wire thieves.
After months of navigating darkened streets, members of the Boyle Heights Bridge Runners are finally seeing the results of a new streetlight repair team mobilized by Councilmember Ysabel Jurado.
Along Boyle Avenue, between 1st and 4th streets, streetlights are shining bright, helping 25-year-old Chelsea Rosales feel safer on her weekly run.
"It's a basic need for our community to have met," she said. "I'm really happy to see our city officials are taking action and listening to their constituents." Boyle Heights resident Nicolas Arenas Rivera, 25, has been running with the local running club for more than a year and has noticed many lights along the route in need of repair.
