The city of Tulsa is making progress in getting the street lights on again. City Street Manager Terry Ball says copper thieves took nearly 35-miles of street wiring.
He says the system has been 85-percent repaired. Ball says they still have a portion of the Broken Arrow Expressway and the IDL to rewire.
Rather than replace the wiring with copper, the city is using less expense aluminum. Ball says thieves are not as interested in stealing it.
