North Legion Drive + Cazenovia Street = Buffalo’s biggest “cover up”
By: Cindyk. The other day the green street light poles were (re)painted in black on Cazenovia Street in South Buffalo,
And then I was reminded of the same green street light poles on North Legion Drive that were (re)painted 2 years ago: (pic taken day of post)
I don’t know if the City of Buffalo realizes this….. but THE RUST ALWAYS SHOWS THROUGH THE BLACK PAINT!!!!
Updated post to add Cazenovia Street pictures from last year to go along with my comment left:
The fact that these street lights are the oldest in the city, there are only so many times they can make them look new again. They are all rusted to some extent, and they all need to be replaced, not just covered up.
The rust is chipped away, metal plates are welded on to cover the rust, and then they are painted with primer. Eventually (re)painted black to cover up the “quick fix” work, so that anyone would think they are new, when all they are are quick fixes…. in two years though, the street light poles on Cazenovia will then show the same condition as those on North Legion.
