| Being that non of the cars look any newer than the late 50's it could very well be city owned as cities actually cared what thing looked like back then !
EDIT : I looked again at the photo I linked and these poles were apparently made with the pedestals to place plants etc.

| Those look like the fluorescents that were installed on State Street in Chicago in 1958. If they are I think they used something like 6' PG17 lamps. You can make out the PG17 lamps in the pic too. Early ones with the longer grooves on only one side.

| Imagine the noise of all those four cooling fans running at once and the buzzing of the ballasts on a cool morning just as the suns rising.

| Yeah, I forgot to mention that those pictured look to be the massive fixtures that had the forced air cooling system. Must have been a sight to behold.
