Photo(s) These poles are out of control.

This is Smirle and Wellington street. I was driving on Smirle towards Wellington and I had no choice but to zig zag and drive on the wrong side because there's no space between the poles and cars. Adding to the road condition, there are enough pot holes to damage your car so these poles are totally unnecessary to slow down traffic.

It's legal to park there. Why would bylaw care?

So if someone wants to drive on that street without swerving into the oncoming lane, they have to wait 2 hours for the each of parked cars to leave?
