More Fun with Google



I was asked to help find some of the locations where utility poles create obstructions - with an emphasis on those that may have been replaced in recent years. I used Google Street Views to find these examples. There are many, many more. You can see the old poles still in place in a few images, and new concrete at the base of some of the poles. Badly-placed poles seem to run in strings.

  1. The absoulte WORST example IMHO in downtown SS is Sligo and Fenton - not only do several extra utulity poles block the views of acrs and peds, but so do added street signs.
