Why can't we bury our power lines already, you might ask. Well you certainly wouldn't be the first (like Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner).

Mayor Drew Fixell once spoke to Patch about this issue and its unlikehood to change. 

Sleepy Hollow's Clinton Street is a particular hub of dangerous dangling lines, with a telephone pole that fell during strong winds this September adjacent to another one that required some Verizon support last week when it started to lean low.
