Levin, I spoke with streets and sands.
02:21
Apparently they said that they came out two hours ago.
02:25
I don't know if this is from the first time or the second time, but they said they closed out the tickets.
02:31
So there is a chance that they might not come out from what I was told, but they said they'll let the driver know that it's still dangling.
02:45
You might want to talk to 310 and they might want to reopen the ticket because this thing's hanging down pretty low on the street.
02:54
Yeah, 10-4[1].
02:55
I told them that 3-11 would still sit in there with the pole still hanging down.
02:59
So he said he'll just let them know that the pole is still down.
03:03
They just can't confirm if the driver is going to come back out.

I don't know if it matters, but someone's going to have to come out because we're going to have to have an officer on it until they do, because if any big truck or something comes through, they're going to take out the whole light pole.

It's the cross section that actually holds up all the lights.
03:33
That part's hanging down.
03:36
They did come over earlier and they picked up the...
