I am glad that I am not alone Again...the stand alone poles are handsome even, so this isn't a case where there's no workaround. Perhaps this is a pet peeve of mine as I grew up in NY, and in the 70's-80's, many areas within NY gave very little attention to their infrastructure.

Okay...maybe it's me then

This truly is a pet peeve of mine: the integrated 5G/streetlamp fixtures that the City is ALLOWING are the ugliest things that I have ever seen! CLT spends *so* much time and money to make the area an attractive place, with handsome facades; roadside plants and beautiful flower beds within medians. Why are they permitting these FUGLY things? If the City is going to permit 5G to be installed, why cant they require the freestanding nodes model that's employed on Rea Road? The freestanding units are handsome enough. I wish that the City would do something to GET RID of these HIDEOUS fixtures. So much money, time, and effort, is made to make CLT the beautiful City that she is, only to her efforts mitigated by ugly lighting fixtures. Borrowed off of the Ballantyne thread:

Are there any new developments regarding the River District? Has the project been put on the backburner? I truly hope that the development will be built around light rail
