The Department desires to promote safe, cleanly organized, and aesthetically acceptable facilities using the smallest and least intrusive means available to provide broadband services to the community. As such, broadband facilities in the Department Right-of-Way shall comply with the reasonable provisions in this document. These standards are no more burdensome than those applied to other types of infrastructure deployments in the Department's ROW.

If the Utility Installation Owner chooses not to collocate when options for collocation appear to be technically feasible, Installation Owner shall demonstrate to the Department's satisfaction in its sole discretion why collocation is not feasible.

The Department desires and encourages Utility Installation Owner to incorporate Concealment Elements into their proposed designs. Concealment Elements include techniques such as camouflage or shrouding.All Broadband Installations shall comply with the following:

Minimal exposed wiring is permitted, provided the Department approves the wiring and the wires are entirely contained within a flex shrouding.
Advertising, flashing lights, decals, and stickers are prohibited unless installed to comply with federal or state law.
Graffiti shall be removed as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 21 days after notification.
New or replacement Poles shall be consistent in size, color, and material with other adjacent Poles of similar classification and use.
