Hydro pole firewood as Mt. Pleasant Rd. re-opens tonight

Toronto Hydro arrived at Mt. Pleasant Rd. and Belsize Drive late Saturday afternoon and took down the old utility pole that gave way in Friday’s wind. It was an top-heavy looking thing with apparatus not frequently seen on a pole. There is a similar one across the street on the northeast corner. The downed pole is now firewood and at dinnertime workers, who have been on the job for 14 hours, were taking down dangling wires. It is not clear when power will return to places like Belize Public House. It may be Sunday. .
