Whoever manages that area - presumably the highway department - will need to either pull it repeatedly, or unfortunately use herbicide. It is a persistent one. I had it on my property when I bought the place - popping up in a very inconvenient spot - and since I didn't know it's reputation I just pulled it over and over again until it gave up. At one point I might have dug to get more root. My neighbor STILL has a pawlonia (I don't dare tell them it's invasive, I am certain they don't care), but it seems to have taken the hint and is not bothering to sprout in my yard anymore.
