A blue Christmas in Olathe? Manufacturing errors changed the colors of the street lights
Have you been feeling blue lately? Don’t worry, it’s not just you. The City of Olathe is feeling the same, as some street lights in the area have changed colors.
City spokesperson Cody Kennedy said it’s the coating in the light that’s causing the issue. It’s a nationwide issue with a light model that was made between 2017 and 2019. To fix it, the city replaces the head of the light. It’s working on changing all of them.
