Readers debate Ridgewood’s Restrictive Sign Ordinance

village Council election

Basic Constitutional Law.

Political sign ordinances CANNOT be more restrictive than ordinances restricting other signs.
So tell me, are garage sale signs, street fair signs, open house signs, save Graydon signs, children playing signs, etc. allowed on the planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk?

Here’s the chapter & verse regarding garage sale signs:

163-6: Temporary signs are permitted only on the days of the sale and only on the premises on which the sale is to take place. No temporary signs are permitted on public property or within any public right-of-way or sidewalk. This requirement extends to trees, telephone poles and street or traffic signs. All temporary signs are to be removed simultaneously with the ending of the sale. No more than two signs advertising the garage sale shall be permitted on the premises, and no sign shall be more than four square feet in size.

that’s great news. So this November I expect strict enforcement of the sign ordinance.
Should cut down on the Tedesco for County Executive and Josh Gottheimer, for Congress signs that litter public property.

  1. Don’t worry Chris ‘bike lane’ will keep running around writing tickets to commercial businesses when instead he could have politely asked for signs to be removed
