SmartCycle’s journey began with a simple challenge: protect California’s vulnerable bridge soffits from theft, fire hazards, and unauthorized entry. The first prototype was installed on a high-risk structure in San Francisco, combining tamper-proof design with vibration-tested stability.

The challenge
Unsecured junction boxes along major corridors in LA were subject to repeated vandalism and wire theft—causing outages in lighting, signage, and traffic systems.
Unsecured junction boxes along major corridors in LA were subject to repeated vandalism and wire theft—causing outages in lighting, signage, and traffic systems.
The solution
SmartCycle developed a reinforced steel junction box enclosure that could be retrofitted to existing infrastructure without structural modifications. It featured keyed locking mechanisms and integrated weatherproof seals.

The outcome
Piloted in multiple high-traffic LA corridors.
Fully resisted tampering and weather conditions.
Now approved for broader deployment across District 7.
Included in the scope for a 2,500+ unit scale-up plan.
