Description

One of the key things we need to do are to enforce laws that are already on the books with respect to signage (remove them and charge them fines - $100 per sign). I plan on calling VDOT again this week with respect to tremendous growth of signs along RT50, Walney, and Willard. I called 3 businesses a few weeks ago and told them I would going to report them if they weren’t removed (within a week) but alas they are still there. Especially flagrant of all laws and common decency about being a good neighbor are the marble and granite businesses in the area. I estimate these businesses have 50 signs put up within a 2 mile radius. Signs that are attached to traffic posts, utility/power poles, in common areas along the sidewalks in front of other businesses, in trees, and anywhere else they can find a spot for them. If you are like me, I am fed up with all the tacky advertising signs that ruin our landscape, devalue property, and interfere with the right of way along our roads. Give businesses a fair playing field for advertising that doesn't include these sort of advertising tactics and illegal use of taxpayer-provided infrastructure.
