City to bill motorists for Route 57 light pole hits
Elyria officials say repairing toppled 250-watt light poles along state Route 57 costs about 2,200 dollars each including installation. When poles are damaged, the contractor repairs them and bills the city, which pursues the responsible motorist or insurer. The Shelley Co. remains in control of the Route 57 rehab until spring or early summer, after which the city will assume the cost and responsibility.
