Street Lights and Traffic Signals
The Engineering division of the Foster City Public Works Department is responsible for the design and maintenance of more than 2,000 street lights and 31 signalized intersections in Foster City.
If you observe a street light outage or a problem with the traffic signals, please contact Public Works Engineering on weekdays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. If calling after hours, you will receive a pre-recorded message with general instructions and emergency information. You should provide your name, address, telephone number, location of requested repair, pole number (for street lights), and as much detailed information of the problem as possible. Alternatively, you can report the issue via our Foster City Access app.
The non-emergency police department non-emergency number may be used for immediate action: (650) 286-3345.
The Foster City Access app makes it easy to report non-emergency issues from a smartphone, tablet or desktop computer. The City tracks these issues and will provide updates as they are acknowledged and resolved. Please keep in mind your issues will be addressed during normal business hours. If this report comes in on a holiday, weekend or after hours, it will be addressed the next business day.
