Description

Many months ago, UI installed a new utility pole at this location. However, the old pole remains there--it looks like its propping up the new pole.

The old pole was placed on a slab of wood by UI in what looks like an attempt to prevent it from falling under the crumbling street curb. Its not working as the picture shows, the soil from under the wood slab is eroding.

In addition to being a safety concern it is an eyesore and very trashy looking. UI tied the two utility poles together with what looks like electrical tape and some wire!

It has stayed this way for at least 6 months. Since this has moved beyond a blight issue due to soil erosion, I am reporting it now.
