Windsor sees about 45 complaints over election signs

Signs, signs everywhere a sign.

Well, not everywhere.

The cityreceived about 45 complaints regardingelection signs the first two days that campaign teams could put them up.

• Will a 'PC blue wave' sweep over an orange Windsor-Essex?

"Specifically at controlled intersections, roadways," saidRob Vani, manager of inspections in the building department, which isone of the places in charge of checking out complaints.

"Normally when you put them up in those locations they do sometimes obstruct vehicle site lines so people do call in to get those removed"

Where can't they go?

The city has a bylaw in place thatincludes specific rules for election signs.

If you're looking to erect an election sign without a permit:

• It cannot be displayed where it would 'create dangerous and undesirable situations'with the bylaw specifically stating that signscan't interfere with motorists sight lines or pedestrian traffic
• The sign cannot be placed within 10 metres of a polling location
• No election signs are allowed on public property

The city confirmed thatsome signs were removed in Windsor West because they were put up in the wrong location.

Some of those signs removed belonged to PC Candidate AdamIbrahim.
