At least one member of Common Council doesn't mind the proliferation of signs around town.
Ray Strowbridge from Ward 4 says the move to get rid of all signs from city owned land has opened up a can of worms and turned into a real mess.
Both Strowbridge and the other councillor from Ward 4, David Merrithew disagree with the sandwich board signs being allowed in the uptown but not in other parts of the city. They're calling it favourtism.
Strowbridge sees the proliferation of signs as an indication that a city is alive while others see them as cheap and junky.
