Hi Gail,
Thanks for taking the time to share your observations. It would seem that the utility company that owns
the poles, or a utility carrier with authorized access to the poles, may be tagging for a specific purpose.
As of yet, I have not officially been made aware of pending maintenance work to the utility poles in the
East End.
On Thursday, the 3rd, white painted "X" markings were noticed on the utility poles in my neighborhood,
as well; inclusive of the utility pole across from the foot of my driveway. No one has offered an
explanation.
Herein, I am copying the Town's Team to be aware of the markings and to offer insight for the reason.
When more information is made available, I will advise.Thank you.
Best,
Angie

Subject: Question
Why is there an "X" on the pole at the end of my driveway? I also saw an "X" on Maplewood Street.
Thanks,
Gail
