Temporary political signs meet requirements to be placed in right of way

Before I plant my temporary political signs in the city's right of way, what requirements regarding location and size must I follow, please?

The section of BCO that governs size requirements Ch 21 Sec, 5 (B) states: Size: Signs shall be:

(i) No more than four (4) feet high (measured from the ground or pavement to the top of the sign) or wider than three (3) feet at its widest point and in no event shall a sign’s total area exceed eight (8) square feet; or.

(ii) No higher than two-and-a-half (2 1/2) feet or wider than three (3) feet and in no event shall such a sign’s total area exceed six (6) square feet. if it is:

(*) within forty (40) feet of a street intersection; or

(**) within fifteen (15) feet of a driveway curb cut; or

(***) placed in a location not adjacent to the business pursuant to (d)(1)(A).

Thanks for your explanation!

You are receiving this message because you have previously (or perhaps just now) submitted a request on SeeClickFix. We're excited to let you know that we are now implementing a comprehensive asset management program which is a mostly "behind the scenes" effort. This will enable more efficient, more effective and more fiscally sound infrastructure management. Nothing changes for you and we'll continue to use SeeClickFix, but we have had to automate a process to connect our open SCF requests with our asset management program. There may be the occasional bug to work out, but rest assured that your issue is still in queue and assigned to the right City staffer. Once this initial round of automation is through in about a week, we'll revert back to our standard messages on SeeClickFix.

The Department of Public Works has resolved this request. Thanks for helping to keep Burlington a great place to live and work.
