Con Ed on West 12th Road to address Utility Poles Issue

We are pleased to advise you that as a follow-up to our previous posting of September 28th, earlier this morning just prior to 9 am, several Con Ed work crews and vehicles arrived on West 12th Road to address the problem of the two (2) West 12th Road utility poles that were alarmingly off-center.

[By 9:00 am, Con Ed workers have already removed the dangeroulsy off-center utility pole at the end of W12th Rd and prepare to replace it with a new pole.]



[By 9:21 am the new pole was in place and all that was left was to move the existing lines from the old pole, affix them to the new one and remove the old pole.]



[By 10:00 am Con Ed was already busy with needed corrective actions with another off center utility pole at the center of West 12th Road. ]


The Con Ed crews were courteous and anytime a vehicle from the end of the block had to leave the street they immediately provided access.  As an aside, one of the Con Ed workers approached me and asked what time high tide was today. I told him high tide was at 1:00 pm but it would not reult in any street flooding.  He looked relieved and told me that his crew had been on West 12th Road last week but while they were here, "...the street flooded real fast and high and there were fish in the street so we had to leave!"

Welcome to West 12th Road boys!
