Even after the campaign was warned again about the $250 fine yesterday they but up 3 more signs on the corner of Orchard and Frontage Rd. All the other signs have not been removed yet. PW needs to start fining.

Parks and DPW have removed the signs from the primary. If you notice any that we missed, or new ones for the general, please open as a new issue so we can respond (use "Public Space, Streets and Drains" for ones in the tree belt, and "Parks Issue" for ones in a park if you can). All signs removed are held at DPW or Parks headquarters for a period in case the campaigns want to pick them up.
As a general rule, city agencies do not remove signs the day before an election or election day (and since election days are on a Tuesday, that means we usually don't get them from the weekend before). Most campaigns put signs in the rights-of-way right before election day, and since it takes us more than one day to remove all the signs that get put out, we could not ensure we are being fair as we start to remove them. Between now and Nov 4th, however, let us know on SCF and we'll try to remove improperly placed signs.

What about the ones that were placed on city property?
Was a single fine issued this season, or is that a toothless law that you don't bother enforcing?

I think we have a right to know if ANY fines were handed out, or not.
These campaigns are making Department of Public Works do work to collect these signs. Who is paying for that me (taxes) or the campaigns (fines)?
