Purpose
Improve visible public-realm conditions by removing illegal postering, documenting hotspots and restoring street-pole clarity across a defined corridor.
Proposal-ready
Public realm maintenance
Clean Poles, Clear Streets
A contained field pilot to remove illegal postering, document repeat hotspots and measure the cost and operational value of restoring street-pole clarity.

What the pilot tests
A practical maintenance model with a measurable close-out.
The proposal is designed to help reviewers assess whether a defined removal and documentation cadence improves visible conditions enough to justify continuation.
Pilot structure
Route-based inspections, removal activity, photographic documentation, hotspot mapping and close-out reporting within fixed geography and operating limits.
Who reviews it
Municipal public-realm maintenance, Municipal Licensing & Standards, Transportation Services or corridor operations teams.
What gets measured
Posters removed, poles serviced, repeat hotspots, cost-per-pole, field observations and before-and-after evidence.
Review-ready outputs
What the package is built to provide.
- Defined corridor, duration and exclusions
- Route and inspection cadence
- Before-and-after field evidence
- Hotspot and recurrence summary
- Cost-per-pole operating logic
- Scale, revise or stop recommendation
Decision supported
Whether the model should scale, change geography, adjust cadence or stop.
This is an independent proposal concept prepared for municipal review. No endorsement or adoption is implied.
