Photo by Jennifer Olstad, blog post by John HoffIn a conversation that took place via my Facebook home page, uber-flipper Jennifer Olstad sent me some information via Facebook about who is responsible for maintaining the streetlights on WOODEN light poles. I would have thought it was the City of Minneapolis, but I would have been wrong.
Here's what Jennifer told me...
There has been a streetlight out on my block for what seems to be eternity (according to the neighbors). In the spirit of safety for residents and their properties, I wanted it fixed! I learned that The City does NOT maintain the streetlights on wooden poles. They are maintained by XCel's Outdoor Division.
If you call, they will fix it within 48hrs! 1-800-960-6235.
Spread the word to ensure Northside streets are lit up and safe!
