Four lampposts near Ottawa's Lyon LRT station have been wrapped with a coarse anti-adhesive material meant to prevent postering, stickers and graffiti, according to CBC News. One local artist says the wrapping takes away a tried and true method of advertising cultural events.

Fuller details have not been independently confirmed yet. CBC News is the only outlet to have reported the story so far, and ottown has not verified anything beyond that report. Who installed the material, and whether more lampposts will get the same treatment, are not yet known.
