Downtown Streetlight Project

We're lighting up downtown Visalia!

New lighting will also be included along Center and Acequia Avenues, Court and Locust Streets, and some of the adjacent side streets.

The main streetlight work will occur on:

Here is a rendering of what the new streetlights will look like:

Pavement rehabilitation will be on Main Street from Willis Street to Santa Fe Street following completion of the streetlight work on Main Street.

The City of Visalia has contracted with A-C Electric Company to deliver these projects. The pavement will be performed by A-C Electric Company’s subcontractor, Yarbs Grading and Paving, Inc.
