This afternoon around 2:30, a pedestrian signal pole on the SE corner of Seventh Street and Avenue B fell over...
Thankfully, no one was injured. All the lights at the intersection went out, though.
According to several witnesses, two middle-school-age students with backpacks gave the pole a kick as they walked by... and they ran off as it was coming down.
One witness pointed out that the base of the pole was corroded ... enough that two kids between the ages of 11-14 could knock it over...

Stacie notes that the pole is back in place...
