<p>Sue, I'm assuming it's an ordinance, not a law per se. Piety sure that placing signs on public right of way is not allowed, as we are reminded every election cycle.</p>

Again, just wondering wasn't sure how that would work if the signs ARE illegal. (but yes, I agree, they're ugly)<var></var><br>

<div>
<div>The ugly scourge of advertising yard signs is always with us but seems to be on the rise right now. Between home and the Dental Group where I am right now I noticed 2 signs on Queensbury near Lafayette and 3 on Queensbury @Rt 1. The usual "We buy homes" and such.I'm sure if i went out on 410, I'd find more signs on the utility poles as well as yard signs.</div>
<div>Are we within our rights as citizens/neighbors to pick these up and deposit them in the trash? Or should we call Public Works? </div>
<div>It's such an eyesore that really detracts from the beauty and appeal of or town.</div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>TownTalk mailing list<br>To post to the list, send mail to <a href="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org" target="_blank">TownTalk@riverdale-park.org</a><br>
