The new concrete posts installed along two streets in Scott as a safety measure are the talk of the town, but much of it isn't positive.
The posts, called bollards, were installed on Carothers and Finley avenues in the Glendale section of Scott to prevent wayward traffic from running into yards and structures.
But the elongated shape and rounded top of the bollards has drawn some derision.
"People are laughing at it. They're calling it Penis Road," Glendale resident Pat Martin told the township commissioners Tuesday.
Scott manager Denise Fitzgerald said the recently installed bollards were approved by the state Department of Transportation.
Commissioner Eileen Meyers, who represents the 1st Ward, said she didn't see the bollards before they were ordered and conceded that she would have preferred "something more antique. I think they're too modern for that area."

They’re obviously there to keep some d!ck from driving onto the sidewalk!
bollards?
Now, they need some bollocks to complete the sets.
I’ll bet they paid a stiff price for them.
Anthony Weiner, do you have anything to do with this?
It is Pennsylvania, not Arizona. Specifically, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
Apparently running off the road is a huge problem here?
Bollards and bollocks. Has a ring to it.
I see. I was confused because somebody put “(AZ)” in the title...
I think we know where he can make his next election attempt!

Good one!
somewhere before, “sdale”
Yeah, I think someone saw “Scott” and thought “Scottsdale”
I don’t see whats wrong
I guess for Arizona a more old-Aztec or other similar design would have been a better idea- its one of the things I loved about tucson
Target had those giant red balls in front of their store to block an errant car/terrorist from driving in.
No way is a cowboy gunna hitch their horse in old-town Scottsdale, to something that looks like that.
It’s a shame Home Depot didn’t have something like that. Remember when the weirdo crashed into that HD in Chandler? (down the street from me)
There is no “Scott” Arizona. There’s is a “Scottsdale” but no Scott. This story is about Scott, Pennsylvania, southwest of Pittsburg.
I don’t remember that, but with my brain being fried, I’m not surprised.
