Damaged Power Poles Spark City Pole Safety Debate
Dwayne Randall pressed the city at the Jan 17 caucus to act on damaged and abandoned utility poles. He cited 16 poles on Butler Avenue and six on Croton Avenue, including a pole near the Harry W. Lockley Early Learning Center, damaged by tractor trailers. Randall warned of personal injury risk if a pole fell, noting the school evacuation drill earlier this year. Councilman Eric Ritter said poles are owned by different utilities.
