OPINION — As many of you have pointed out to me, and certainly a growing problem, our Town is being taken over by large, potentially illegal construction/builder/contractor advertising signs everywhere.
Although their work and continued developments are welcome, after months of political signs the fatigue over signs everywhere is not only unsightly, but it’s taking away from our most unique features – our open space and beautiful residential neighborhoods.
I brought this up recently at a previous council meeting and my colleagues unanimously supported enforcing our current sign ordinance. Obviously, those who continue to violate that ordinance even after our staff’s direction to enforce the ordinance is purely disrespectful. Not only are they too large and tall, but they also block our line of sight with oncoming traffic on corners, making driving unsafe, and they’re constantly placed in our town ROW, which is potentially illegal.
