What Are Those Yellow Grids On Area Telephone Poles?

November 8, 2017 by admin

You Have Seen Them All Over – What Are They?

They have been popping up on telephone poles in the area for the past several years, but what is the purpose of those yellow grids that have become so ubiquitous in the area?

The answer is quite simple – they are reflective grids that are being installed by PECO with the intent of avoiding drivers from crashing into telephone polls.

Since 2007, PECO has been installing the reflective grids as poles are inspected, approximately every 10 years.

Currently over half of PECO’s 400,000 poles have them so far.

The bigger question is does this little grid have the ability to avoid accidents by drivers who are driving impaired or fall asleep at the wheel? Why else would someone hit a pole?

A weekly review of recently sold homes in Wallingford PA and current market statistics.

There are 75 homes listed for sale in Wallingford PA and Nether Providence Township on November 7, 2017 with an average asking price of $403,264.

Home prices have been accelerating faster than general inflation. So, should the housing market be worried about a housing bubble brewing? Urban Institute researchers say there’s no cause for concern, at least on a national level.

Over the past five years, home prices have outpaced inflation by 34% cumulatively since 2012, according to UI. The increase, however, is less than half the pace between 1997 and 2006. In that time period, home price growth outpaced inflation by 87%.

The median household can afford a house that is $70,000 more expensive than the price of a median house sold, the Urban Institute says. But in 2006, there was a $22,000 shortfall between what the median household could afford and the median sales price.
