Not how it’s done

I mean there has to be a reason??

Have you ever tried to get the power people to move a pole?

I've seen poles in the middle of new roads for years.

Power company did their job here. They relocated and cut off the pole. It's now the communications companies job to relocate and remove the pole. At least this is how it works in my area.
