From NECN: Dangerous-Looking Eyesores: Communities Vent About Double Power Poles

There are more than 16,000 of these dangerous-looking eyesores dotting the landscape across Massachusetts, some likely in your neighborhood. Double power poles are the result of new construction, storm damage and car accidents, created when a new pole is installed next to the old, damaged one.

State law says the double poles should be removed within 90 days and replaced with a new one. However, the NBC10 Boston Investigators found many are still languishing in neighborhoods years later, with no consequences for the utility and telecommunications companies responsible for maintaining them.

There is also an online database where you can look up double poles by town.. There are quite a few in Cambridge, and some in our neighborhood, like the one on Avon St that was installed in Jan 2014.
