There is just not enough room to maneuver with vehicles parked on the street.

It has also occurred in Los Feliz, Hollywood Manor, Hollywood Knolls, Hollywood Dell, the hills west of Runyon Canyon, and Hollywood Heights. Virtually every neighborhood with vintage street lights has been struck since March. 

We are working on having the vaults closed - many have already been taken care of - but the timeline for repair is considerable even in the rare instances when we are able to share priority locations with the Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL). For context, there are currently fewer than 200 city employees charged with maintaining more than 200,000 lights throughout Los Angeles - this includes regular maintenance, as well as unscheduled repairs like those necessitated by…
