01 / THE CONDITION

What needs to be understood?

Unauthorized postering can accumulate across streetscape assets. A one-time cleanup may improve appearance briefly without showing which locations recur or what ongoing response would cost.

02 / THE INTERVENTION

What is being proposed?

Document an initial set of poles in a limited corridor. Where legally authorized, remove designated material under an agreed operating standard and return on a consistent schedule to observe recurrence.

03 / THE BOUNDARY

What is inside the test?

Defined corridor, permitted assets only, specific treatment and reporting schedule. No removal, installation, or other activity on public infrastructure without the required owner authorization.

04 / THE MEASURE

How would we know?

Baseline incidence, removal effort, approved treatment quality, hotspot concentration, recurrence interval, labour and materials per pole.

05 / THE DECISION

What would the result decide?

Is a monitored maintenance cycle more useful than ad hoc treatment? If so, on which corridors and under what operating model?
