Candidates Reminded About Placement of Signs
(Wednesday, September 8/04)-- A Public Service Announcement sent previously today may have left the impression with some that no campaign signs are to be placed on municipally-owned properties.
In fact, signs may be placed on publicly-owned properties, providing they do not obstruct the view of traffic at intersections and driveways. Also, signs must not be installed on utility poles or street trees.
Adherence to these guidelines should preclude any problems; however, candidates are advised that any signs posing a safety hazard will be removed by HRM at the cost of the candidate.
For further information, candidates/agents are asked to contact HRM Right-of-Way Services at 490-6240.
