Street Lights

This is a point data set representing all streetlight locations within Boise Area of Impact, including lights owned by the city and by Idaho Power. A streetlight is a light, usually mounted on a pole, and constituting one of a series of lights spaced at intervals along a public street or highway. This data set was developed by City of Boise Public Works Department in the early 1990’s and is currently maintained by the DIS Division of Boise City Public Works under the direction of the City of Boise Streetlight Coordinator. This data was created by the City of Boise GIS team. This data is updated continually. It is current to the date of publication. The City of Boise maintains street lights on public streets maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). Boise's street lighting system consists of a combination of lights owned by the city and lights owned by Idaho Power. We have approximately 10,000 lights in our public system, with an additional 300 new street lights installed each year. These are installed as a requirement for development, part of a street upgrade, or installed under one of the city's annual capital improvement projects. To report a street light outage, please use the streetlight outage map app. To request a new street light, please call 208-388-4719. To view street light installation requirements, see the New Development Permits or Requirements page. For more information, please visit City of Boise Public Works.
