That is exactly where the intersection is (add onto it Fountain Ave also – it’s a 5 point intersection). It’s been like that for as long as I can remember. On a side note, funny seeing so many neighbors reading and replying to this site :P

If a B-double truck going at 80MPH hit one, could be a different story. But that wouldn’t happen too often.

Maybe once the replacement gets hit as well, it will get fixed for real?!? :)

Other states are going to concrete for the big poles and reusing old ones. Good straight hardwood is getting sparse
