Deputy 31 from Utility 312.

Calling Deputy.

10-4. This is a Frontier Communications pole.
00:22
We could potentially shut this thing off to the right.
00:28
Negative.
00:29
I'm saying we could move the pole off the road.
00:34
But that's not going to raise the wires at Stumptown Road. Are you safe to move it off and get all the wires off the TV?
00:45
Yes, Deputy.
00:47
Go ahead and scrap that idea.
00:49
It's also lost the pole right next to the intersection, so that will not help.
00:55
All right, yeah, I've seen the wires were low there. That's why I'm shutting down Stumptown so nothing large can pass without tearing wires off the pole.
01:04
Too.
01:06
So if we shut down Stumptown because of the low-hanging wires, your idea won't work about pulling the pole off the road. Would the wires otherwise be off the road if we do that?
01:20
Yeah, we'll take a look when they come up here. If they come completely off the call, they'll come now onto EB.
