TROY, NY (NEWS10) – If you’ve driven through the City of Troy recently, you may have seen some tall poles. But some will be gone very soon.

“We have this pole that’s three times the size of a building,” said Trevor Simmons.

Every day Trevor Simmons sees a pole right outside his window and he isn’t too happy about it.

“They’re not providing a public service by creating a larger network, they’re actually imposing upon us that gigantic pole,” said Simons

He’s not the only one that feels this way.

“It’s kind of just out of place, so it doesn’t seem like it fits in with the rest of the neighborhood,” said Troy resident John Lee.

More than a dozen of these 50 to 60 wooden poles were erected throughout Troy nearly two months ago.

They’re owned by Mobilite LLC Telecommunications Company and designed to mount things like antennas.

But neither the city council nor the planning board gave approval to install them. And they’ve become a cause of concern, not just for their looks.

“If for some reason it ever came down you can see clearly it’ll go all the way across the street, so it poses a much larger hazard to the public,” said Simmons.

Now after many people reached out to the city administration, certain poles will be removed and relocated.

Council President Carmella Mantello calls it a victory for Troy saying quote “We can have both better technology and protect our city’s landscape and neighborhoods with creative looking poles and on top of rooftops.”

“I’ll be very happy to see it go,” said Simmons.

Simmons will only have to look at the one outside his home a little longer, that one on People’s Avenue will be removed Monday. Another one on 3rd Street will be taken down Tuesday.

Simmons’ just feels Mobilite could find better spots to post up.

“If they would just use the existing utilities that would be much better instead of slamming that there,” said Simmons.

The council will consider a proposed contract with Mobilite at a meeting on Wednesday.
