SCOTT TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) - New traffic barriers, known as bollards, are causing some controversy in the Glendale section of Scott Township. It's not the function, but the form.
"When you really look at all four close together, they look like male body parts, which I don't think is appropriate," says Glendale resident Pat Martin.
She raised the issue at Tuesday night's township commission meeting.
"Everyone's laughing about them," she adds, "because of the way they're put and what they resemble to people."

(11,940 posts)1. I would say that Ms. Martin has "issues".
They're rounded so they're less likely to hurt someone if they run into them. Sheesh!!!
Thank gawd they didn't install fountains in them [although that would be an idea -- pop fountains -- get a little too close and it goes off]
