Description
People who live in San Diego's Loma Portal neighborhood are up in arms over the removal of historic lampposts — some of which that have been around for more than a century. One neighbor contacted CBS 8 after seeing city crews take down lampposts near Poinsettia and Lotus.
“I saw a bunch of them coming down yesterday and it was horrifying to me,” said Kim Leary.
On Wednesday, neighbors gathered to voice their concerns after crews were spotted removing some the day before.
"I just got on the Nextdoor site and said help us. Our lampposts are in danger and these people showed up immediately," said Kim Leary.
Leary and others in the area are concerned it's an ongoing project that will end with all of them eventually going away.
