- Objective: Strengthen security, reduce crime, improve visibility, and decrease traffic accident risks.
Mayor Ismael Burgueño has initiated a comprehensive program to renovate and modernize public lighting in Tijuana, aiming to enhance the city’s modern and functional infrastructure for enhanced security. One of the first actions involved addressing the 10-year neglect of the 2000 Boulevard, a high-traffic area that previously lacked proper illumination.
“Tijuana’s development heavily depends on modern and functional infrastructure. We will continue to restore public lighting to provide a safer environment for all residents.”
- Actions: Maintenance, rehabilitation, modernization, and replacement of lighting fixtures.
The program ensures continuous and efficient lighting on strategic roads by identifying and repairing or replacing damaged luminaries. The 2000 Boulevard now features appropriate lighting, enhancing visibility, minimizing traffic accident risks, and decreasing crime.
- Program Components:
- Thorough review of the lamp inventory to pinpoint areas needing attention.
- Zone-based work plans for regular maintenance of control panels.
- Immediate response to citizen reports about public lighting issues.
- Semaphore maintenance and aerial line installation where necessary, improving traffic signaling and safety.
New high-performance luminaries are installed, eliminating the “zebra effect” that creates dark zones between lights, ensuring pedestrian and driver security.
