In SJ, many of businesses appear to think public property is fair game to put up their signs and advertisements--and that attitude, according to common council, is taking away from the atmosphere of the city.
Common Councillor Shirley McAlary warning the public in the coming weeks city crews will be on the lookout for rogue signs. Ones that don't comply with the bylaws will be confiscated and the business owners will have to pay a fine to get them back.
McAlary points out Halifax charges on a yearly basis for signs placed on public land.
