According to Jody Agee, city code enforcement officer, the stakes were placed there by crews working for Oklahoma Natural Gas as part of a gas line marking program.
Several homeowners were taken aback by the wooden objects bearing only the words “Road Row.” In one case, a homeowner attempted to find out from the crew members what was going on since workers were not wearing any identification badges or uniforms.
That worker only provided the homeowner with a quick view of their drivers license but no further information.
Agee said it is unusual for a utility firm to work in yards around town without contacting city hall first.
Attempts were made to contact Oklahoma Natural Gas company officials but no phone calls were returned.
