Miami-Dade County officials are taking action to address the ongoing issue of non-functioning streetlights, a concern raised by residents and commissioners alike. During the Miami-Dade Policy Council meeting on February 10, 2025, Commissioner Cabrera highlighted the frustration of constituents who frequently encounter dark streets, particularly along major thoroughfares like 127th Avenue.

In response to these concerns, the council has directed the administration to prepare a comprehensive report on the current streetlight contract and its effectiveness. This report is expected to be presented at the next policy council meeting, ensuring that the community's safety and quality of life remain a priority.

The decision to seek clarity on the streetlight situation underscores the council's commitment to addressing infrastructure issues that directly impact residents. As the administration works on this report, the community can anticipate a more detailed understanding of the challenges and potential solutions regarding street lighting in Miami-Dade County. This proactive approach aims to enhance public safety and improve the overall living conditions for residents.
