"We would like to take this opportunity to allay any concerns that the public may have regarding statements made concerning a possible delay in street light repairs across the City of New Orleans. The City Administration has assured us that the absence of City Council legislative action at its May 3rd regular meeting pertaining to this matter will in no way impact the ongoing street light program. Street lights are currently being repaired, and we are on schedule to have every light in the City turned on by the end of the year. The Landrieu Administration has prioritized the repair of street lights throughout the City evidenced by the Mayor's recent announcement regarding the progress and goals of the street light repair program. Further, the Mayor has committed to double repair crews and they are currently on the ground working. We fully appreciate the necessity to have street lights repaired as quickly as possible and in no way would we hinder or jeopardize progress to that end."
