Con Ed uses interesting jerry-rigging in Sunnyside


From WPIX:

SUNNYSIDE, Queens — The hot temperatures can wreak havoc on the power grid — so much so that earlier this week, Con Edison had power outages.

Along 46th Street in Sunnyside, Queens, neighbors are being asked to conserve power after a breakdown.

Hans Von Rittern contacted PIX11’s Greg Mocker about the temporary repair. A wire is running across the road and it is suspended between two trees. The wire is tied to the branches.

Con Edison said it will review the work.

Did they get permission from the parks department for this crappy hook up?
