Westside Creeks Lighting Pilot Project (CoSA Bond)

Westside Creeks Lighting Pilot Project (CoSA Bond)

The Westside Creeks Lighting project will include lighting for three creeks to include Alazan, Zarzamora, and Apache Creeks. The lighting will be placed along the trail side of the creeks to illuminate the trail during early morning and evening hours. The trail lighting will allow pedestrians and trail users to utilize the trail at times previously too dark to see and will provide more usage by the public.
