Currently, utility services providers have no legal obligation to remove or relocate pole attachments connected to redundant poles if that remaining utility infrastructure was installed by a different permit holder and if the pole attachment does not presently belong to the existing service provider. These obsolete poles pose a safety risk and negatively impact City aesthetics.
