Make transport pillars destructible

I don't like the pillars, sometimes they are just in the way and I don't see the benefit of them blocking vehicles and other stuff.
As a solution I would love to have them destructible.

I'd prefer to be able to dictate where the game can place pillars.
For instance, if I'm bridging 2 Pipes and 2 Belts over a thoroughfare, then I'd want their Pillars to be on the same rows of tiles so that they don't block traffic. Currently there is no good way for me to do this, only fiddling around with the mouse hoping the game somehow reads my mind.

Having the ability to simply build or destroy pillars manually on existing elevated conveyors or pipes would be very useful.
