Whatever it is, if it was placed in the public right-of-way, chances are it’s now at the City’s Public Works facility:
City crews have picked up a total of 69 signs that were placed in the public right of way. The signs are being stored at the City’s Public Works facility on Dries Lane. Signs can be retrieved from Public Works over the next 10 days. After that time, the signs will be discarded.
Pride is picking up in Peoria.
Well after today, the “Duryea Days” and “Bark in the Park” Promo Signs will be obsolete. That should account for several hundred at least. So they’ve now removed 69 signs. That should leave only a mere several thousand more to go.
They report having removed 69 signs as if that was a big effort? That may have been one intersection’s worth.
I call for fines directly to the owner’s of the signs and make it very public. That would get them cleaned up immediately, by the idiots that place them in the first place.
If those that post signs illegally were fined that money could go to pay the wages of the person ticketing the illegal posters. It would provide at least a temporary part time job for someone and rid us of the unsightly illegal signs. Thus, one problem solves another.
would someone tell me what are the (dimensions) of a public right of way? Is it a certain number of feet onto private property? If so, there must be two thousand signs to go.
wacko, I was wondering that myself. Is it only the space between the sidewalk and the street? What if there is no sidewalk?
From the municipal code:
“An area of land NOT on a lot”? What the hell does that mean? Is the land floating in the air? Or is it somehow under the lot or off to the side?
Right of way is from the road center line to the edge of the property lot lines. appox 40 feet from centerline on a 2 lane road, more on wider roads
On more major (especially state) throughfares, right-of-way is often marked by small stone markers with “R.O.W.” engraved on them.
Otherwise, the official right-of-way is often unmarked unless you look at a plat map or official lot dimensions, but generally a good rule of thumb is anything between the sidewalk and street, if both exist.
