Pittsburgh Launches First Phase of New LED Streetlights

Pittsburgh is set to brighten its streets with the installation of new LED streetlights as part of a $15 million project to replace over 35,000 lights across the city in the next two years. At a recent press conference, Mayor Ed Gainey activated the first of these lights in the Manchester neighborhood, marking a significant shift from outdated high-pressure sodium fixtures. This initiative prioritizes historically disinvested communities and aims to enhance public safety, reduce light pollution, and save approximately $1 million annually in utility costs, while cutting CO2 emissions by 12,000 metric tons each year. The city’s new lighting system will also feature smart technology for monitoring and efficiency, allowing for dimming capabilities and real-time outage detection.
