Someone on LinkedIn posted this saying that the CAD tech noticed a bad shot or something like that. So they sent out a crew to check the data and discovered this.

My respect to the asphalt and concrete guys. That's an obstacle I've rarely seen handled that cleanly (and there are more than a few of those around here).
My question would be:
Who's responsible when some guy runs into it?
I was going to say photo shop. But no; there's to many things tied to it...

the guy who runs into it.
I have seen that happen when the field crew uses the wrong offset or not careful when locating existing utility poles.
Or the utility company just set the pole wrong, months before the road was built.

or a civil engineer thought he was smarter than anyone else and muffed up a perfectly good CAD file that was delivered to him or her. or an engineering CAD tech completely missed the power pole in the drawing or turned off a layer or whatever.
just making sure you distribute the possible sources of blame fairly...

We all know those are just pesky things that get in the way of a perfectly good design. Our designers are always freezing the property and ROW layers, they're just in the way.
Bad planning..........
Taking a shot with the offset reading in the wrong direction
What bugs me is that the Romex cable is not within conduit, above ground or underground.

Are you serious? I don't know where this is; but in a populated area; this is fodder for the bottom feeders and the attorneys that support them...
Lots of cigarette butts in the runoff debris along the curb
Odd
Or am I seeing it wrong
The pole is blocking flow over the pan creating a catch basin that is gathering whatever should be washing downstream.
The project inspector should have caught that and demanded an alternate design that would have placed that pole at the BOC or better than that have the utility to move it back to where it belongs.
I can think of half dozen lawyers waiting to chase the ambulance away from that scene.
I can hear $omeone $inging "F Q Hood gonna get me some ea$y livin' ca$h when a car force my old clunker into that ob$ta$le".
Paul,
I could be wrong, but that gray looks like conduit. I doubt that it is romex electric wire. The conduit I ran my network cable in our to my office building was gray.

I'm surprised somebody didn't design a DI there. Now *that* would have given the underground crew something to scratch their heads about.
