City of Venice Shirley Gibson assigned this issue to TM Matero

FP&L has not addressed this safety issue. The pole has been chopped halfway down, and it looks like the woodpecker is still working on it. When the pole breaks and falls, let's hope no one is electrocuted. Could the city of Venice please stay on top of this? Thanks.

Thank you for reporting this issue to See Click Fix. I have reached out to our liaison from FPL and also reported it online. I will wait to hear back form them and provide an update on the issue as soon as possible. Thank You, Tricia Matero

Thank you for using See Click Fix. FPL did respond to me and they will have an inspector out to take a look. They do have a program for issues like this and they check the poles periodically. If you need further information, contact me directly at 941-882-7362. Tricia Matero
