Pole 'parked' in the middle of intersection hinders drivers in Bauru "In the middle of the way there was a pole". This is how drivers passing through the Jardim Guadalajara neighborhood, in Bauru (SP), could adapt the famous verse by poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade to describe a pole that has remained in the middle of an intersection for more than a year. The structure, owned by Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz (CPFL), is installed where Rua Francisco Vidrih meets Avenida Manoel Duque, exactly at the access curve to the avenue. ?

In a note, Bauru City Hall informed that the Municipal Infrastructure Secretariat has already notified CPFL and has demanded the relocation of the structure. When asked by g1 about the completion date of the work, the municipal administration did not respond until the last update of this report.
