Utility pole graffiti vandalism

The longer it stays up, the more it invites. That's how tagging works, steps from Ocad University - Main Building 416 977-6000.

Fixed

Marked resolved Apr 28

Fixed, and a neighbour went back to check.

Someone from this neighbourhood walked past on June 4 and confirmed the work was done, 8 days after you reported it. That is the loop closed by the people who live here.

Marked resolved Jun 4, 4:27 PM

Closed, on the record

Fixed in 8 days.

Grange Avenue in Spadina-Fort York is a little better today because somebody said something, neighbours stood behind it, and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

This street's story: Removal gets easier the sooner it starts, because paint bonds harder to a surface the longer it sits.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A concrete utility pole on the sidewalk at 1 Grange Avenue is covered with spray paint tags in black, blue, and red covering approximately 60% of its lower surface. The pole supports a functioning 'No Parking' traffic sign and remains structurally intact, though the extensive vandalism detracts from the street's appearance.
