Where did they go?
The other day I posted about the new bollards (poles) that were being installed in the area around my office in Kuwait City. They really didn’t fit in with their environment and it looked like a lot of money was wasted on them. Well one of my blog readers just made me realize that they’re not there anymore. I saw some guys working on them this morning when I was coming in to work and figured they were just properly fixing them but it seems they were removing them. Strange, just like that they’re gone, not a single one left behind. Hmmmm…

They were probably being sampled on location.
You sample one side walk not the whole area.

check those links for more pictures to see how much of it they had installed. not only that but i noticed behind the block adjacent to mine they also had them installed.
fascinating!
Yah I was at Muthana Complex last night and I saw them,
But this morning ,,,, THEY ARE GONE
There went the Grinch.
I saw these bollards too… not near Muthanna… uff I cant recollect the exact location… it was somewhere between the old souks and the banking complex
Contract issues maybe then? Or the person who makes the calls had a change of heart… either way, they were ugly and had to go.
I saw them on Friday at muthana.
Qnet must have alerted the municipality that you had a blog post about how ugly they are :)
didn’t you know its the new business they look fancier than manhole covers so they stole them ….
My cousin said Public Works suing the vendor because they were made in Israel so they had to go.
ooh mark .. ur blog has a huge influence on the baladiya :p ;)
crap
wait, they removed them and left the pavement looking like that???
Now that will really prevent people from parking on the curb :)
اعتقد عيب ننتقد قبل ما بنتهي الشغل بشكل كامل
looool
i guess they changed their minds
I live in muthanna. Just looked out my window and…yeah. they left the pavement looking like that.
maybe they’ll be back later with something else since they left the pavement looking like that
AYBABTU – all your bollards are belong to us
Look out for them this weekend at Friday market for a bargain price…
a lucky mother fucker made big money
guys..hellooo
we`re in kuwait and things has to be done in this way
Ghostface said they were made in israel !!! who found out and how ?!
is the 1st of april ?
Well as per the Ministry of PW ( Baladiya), it is illegal. They even removed from Residential areas. It was really bad as they broke the tiles and do not want to repair….
er…have we forgotten those artificial Palm Trees with Christmas lights on them a few years back? Do you see any these days?
I would prefer keeping them instead of the craters they left behind
Did I hear somebody suggesting to bring back the artificial palm trees… btw, they looks awesome at night… lol
