Sylmar : Hubbard Street Will Get New Lighting
At dusk today, Los Angeles City Councilman Richard Alarcon and housing developers will turn on a set of new street lights on Hubbard Street at Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Sylmar.
The event marks the next stage of Alarcon’s project, “Operation Lights On,” a campaign he launched in 1993 to light all dark streets and alleys in his 7th Council District. When Alarcon was elected, his district had fewer streets lights than any other district in the city.
The new lights on Hubbard Street were made possible by Kaufman & Broad, the developer that is building the second phase of its 300-home Carey Ranch at Hubbard and Laurel Canyon.
Although the developers weren’t required to provide the lighting, they did so at their own expense, according to officials from Alarcon’s office.
The public is invited to attend the ceremonial street lighting, complete with refreshments, at 5:30 p.m. at Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Hubbard Street in Sylmar.
