LAMPPOST PROJECT DONORS support the BPNA’s ambitious historic preservation project in “Bringing Lamppost History Back” with the vision to replace the inappropriate freeway style street lights with ornamental lights that match the look and pattern of the original lights along E. 1st Street, dating back to the late 1920s. Three (3) phases have already been installed, and BPNA is working with our partners on the next one.
