The empty holes left behind by ATC and its contractors on the yards of homeowners have been secured by Northampton public works crews, according township officials.

After ATC received word that Northampton Township had pulled the work permits, the company removed it's equipment and crews leaving the holes that were meant for poles open and posing a risk to the general public.

Public works employees took to the streets and covered the holes with wood board and placed cones over top.

The fate of the holes will have to wait until the legal fight over whether or not the remaining poles can be erected in the right-of-way has been settled, township officials surmised at last week's board meeting.
