As has been noted in response to other reports of this issue in SeeClickFix, the components necessary to repair the lights are on backorder from the manufacturer. The parts were ordered in July and will be installed as soon as they are received. Unfortunately, our ability to complete the repairs is being hampered by manufacturing and supply chain issues beyond the City's control.

Just curious if there is a way to put temporary lighting out there. I know many people have complained and if there is no real date as to when parts will be in, this could go on for quite a while. Can the City consider a temporary solution?

Thank you for the update.

what is the city doing to expedite delivery of the parts? why wasn't there ample spare parts to repair at least half of the broken lights?

The City cannot expedite delivery, as the issue relates to backlogs in manufacturing and shipping stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the lights are still under warranty, we are at the front of the line for receiving them once they are available from the manufacturer.

This is not the only issue being impacted by supply chain issues, nor is the City of Alpharetta alone in being impacted by these issues. Pretty much every local government and private sector construction firm has maintenance and construction projects that are currently delayed because of supply chain issues related to parts and materials.

This issue appears to be a different one than a few random lights out. I live along the loop and am quite aware of which lights have been out for the last year. It’s not just those. The entire set of lights from Haynes Bridge to Banbury Xing are out but then start up again. Perhaps the new construction along the Loop cut a line? Please look into this and as another poster suggested perhaps place temporary lights. Something needs to be done because one year with lights out is not acceptable. It is quite unsafe and someone could get injured.
