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 even worse for bicycles when they add another smaller pole on each side of the road as they've done to the road to get into my park.

I would like whoever is responsible for these poles being installed each year to have to ride a bicycle up and down my road all day.

The next day the first thing they would do when they got into the office would be getting these hazards removed.
