Faubourg St. John neighbors have been celebrating
the repair of streetlights around the neighborhood.

Most of the streetlights in Faubourg St. John were working
before the August 29, 2012 storm blew through.

Charlotte Pipes said on December 13th, “Altec bucket truck in the 2900 block of Ursulines Avenue. Our light at the corner of N. Dupre & Ursulines, out since before Issac, is fixed. Thank you, Altec!”
Kim Gilberti also said on December 13th, “The light on Bell, near Dupre, was also fixed this past Tuesday, that had been out since mid-September! Yea – best Christmas present ever!”
Mary Phyllis Bosch said on December 14th, “The street light that had been out in the 1200 block of North Lopez Street was replaced yesterday afternoon around 4 PM as well.”
Tiffany Goebel also said on December 14th, “The street light behind CC’s that was damaged during the hurricane has also been repaired this week. Excellent!”

Steps to get your streetlight fixed:
1) Call 311 with BOTH the number on the pole AND the address nearest the pole. (about 6ft up — has 2 letters and 3 numbers i.e. PQ103)

2) Ask for the item number for the streetlight you called in with the pole number and address.

3) Send the POLE NUMBER, ADDRESS, and
ITEM NUMBER to –> info at fsjna dot org

This past summer the city began its online tracking system. So, getting an item number is important because citizens will be able to track the progress of the work on the city’s website.

The Department of Public Works is responsible for the construction, maintenance, and administration of transportation elements affecting vehicular, pedestrian, and rail movement within the public right-of-way in New Orleans. This includes repairs to potholes in the city’s streets, maintenance of street lights, cleaning of catch basins, parking enforcement, maintenance of street signs and traffic signals, issuance of street closure permits and towing of abandoned vehicles among other duties.

The streetlights in Faubourg St. John
