East Elizabeth Street lamps retrofitted with LEDs

The street lamps on East Elizabeth Street between 6th and 14th streets will cast a whiter, brighter glow thanks to a retrofit with LED lights and new globes. The pilot project is an initiative of Main Street Brownsville that involves changing out 159 lights on 53 street lamps, three fixtures to a lamp, as well as the installation of surge protectors. The work was scheduled to be complete today, according to Main Street Manager Miriam Suarez, who said the new lights “look really good” after sundown.
