All the utility poles on Bayview Ave and into the Ward 22 side of South Bayview are being replaced with tree-top high fir timber beauties. We’re told they will last many decades. Now how to remove those old rotting concrete poles? Apparently it’s necessary to cut them in half. This lineman was the focus of many sidewalk sightseers and would-be foremen as he methodically sliced through this pole on the northwest corner of Bayview and Millwood Rd. beside Wild Wing. It took about 30 minutes with stops and starts to get the job done. Note the sparks flying in picture at the left.
