Neighborhood Services Director Richard Oswald has responsibility for illegal signs within city limits. The city sign ordinance, available online, covers temporary signs which require a permit. In a recent article in the local paper Oswald speaks to the issue of illegal signs.
"If you look at any major intersection, you'll see numerous signs, and we try to get them pulled as quick as possible," Oswald said.If you guessed this city is NOT Dunwoody you would be correct. It is Davenport, IA where it would appear they care about quality of life.
Although it may seem like a lot of rules, Oswald said it's a problem that can get out of hand quickly.
"If we didn't regulated it, imagine how cluttered it would be and them climbing up poles," Oswald said.
