Description

Transporation officials are replacing the wiring in theft-prone light fixtures with aluminum - a strategy that other cities in the U.S. are adopting as they struggle with their own theft problems.

There’s a stretch of Interstate 84 in Portland, near where it connects to Interstate 205, that for weeks last year was unnervingly dark at night.
