Arjay: I believe the signs are illegal though  I couldn't quote the law to you.  I completely agree with you especially in the case of Ruby Tuesday.  Those backlit red letters have NO place on Charles Street.  Dawna

Arjay, I too have noticed these signs. (See messages below.)   They look
horrible, imho.

I don't think signs are allowed on the median strip; that land belongs to
the city, I think.

Does anyone know how or if either sign can be removed?

Christine

Dawna,

I don't have any interesting chat, ...but your email reminded me of
something
I have been meaning to ask you about.

I am very unhappy with the two sandwich board signs that Ruby Tuesday puts
out
every day, ...one out on the sidewalk in front of their store near the
service
drive and the second one actually in the grassy median between the service
drive and Charles Street.  I believe it says "TO GO" with an arrow
indicating,
...hey passersby, ...here's where you can get some carry out, ...follow the
arrow.

Blimpie's also puts one out on the sidewalk at Charles and 31st.  I think
they
look like hell and Charles Street has a much too classy character for these
signs to be tolerated!  All we need is for Charles Street after the
reconstruction to look trashy with too much commercial advertising!

Do the signs bother you and your neighbors?

I'm trying to build some steam up with CVCA regarding looking into sign
ordinances and this issue and wanted to get a feel for whether I'm the only
one who has noticed or are there others?

Arjay
