I took out one of those poles. I rented an electric jack hammer as it's buried in the cement. Once out I applied cement glue all around it and filled the hole with cement. The thing is I built a load bearing wall along the beam that was being nominally supported by the pole. The wall was just offset by a couple of feet so with the pole gone it didn't interfere with the walk to the laundry area. Probably you should check with the city first though.
