James: Town needs to change sign regulations

Posted

Early on the Saturday morning before the primary election, the town's Code Enforcement officer removed several political signs from directly in front of my house. When I asked about them, I was told that Sunridge Drive, as well as Golden Eagle, El Lago and some other residential streets, have been declared a "No Sign Zone" by town council.

Inquiring with Code Enforcement into the situation, I was told that no signs means no signs, whether political, yard sale, or even real estate open house or for sale signs. I feel that the town is limiting my (and everyone else's) right to free political speech and other speech.

I hereby call on town council to remove the no sign zone from all residential area streets in Fountain Hills.
