Risky utility pole leaning again

This is the third pole in this location in as many years. The first two were broken by traffic because the low lines are a hazard and got caught on passing vehicles. Now, this new pole is leaning dramatically. The lines on the right side of the picture are taught--they are holding the pole up as it falls to the left. The lines on the left are sagging and are dangerously low again.

The City and local businesses have invested a lot of money and effort into making the E College Ave part of downtown safe and beautiful. The utility companies need to do their share and fix this pole issue by taking the lines underground. It would go a long way in making our downtown beautiful. It's the right thing to do.
