Students at Cleveland State University are calling for action after a fallen street light has been posing a hazard on the sidewalk for weeks. The light pole, which rests precariously on the ground at Chester Avenue and East 24th Street, has been there since at least November, according to students. Despite the apparent danger, the only action taken seems to be the placement of caution tape around the pole. 19 News reached out to Cleveland Public Power, who responded promptly by removing the light pole by the end of the day. The university has yet to comment on whether campus staff reported the issue.
