This streetlight is leaning heavily and looks like a strong gust of wind could knock it over. I saw this on Plum Orchard Drive in Calverton. Back in 2016 there was a
spate of falling streetlights on Plum Orchard Dr between Broadbirch Dr and Cherry Hill Rd. Those got fixed as part of the
Adventist Healthcare White Oak Medical Center development.
This little stub of Plum Orchard was ignored however, and the streetlights are really looking worse for the wear. I really thing if someone leaned against this pole it would fall over. It is also worth noting that the access panel looks to be held on with electrical tape.
When I took these pictures on Thursday, there was a van from an electrical company parked near one of the street lights so it is possible these will be fixed soon. It is also possible that they will just fall to the ground before they get fixed. I'll update as more information becomes available.
