tcr98taws6 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I am of the impression 1/2 of the homemade signs in all of Fort Bend County are located on the corner of I-10 and the Grand Parkway. It has quickly become quite the eyesore. The classics include advertising poop removal on full sheets of plywood. I believe we need stricter code enforcement and soon.

I can't get behind you on requiring that signs be professionally made or that they not advertise poop-related businesses, but you can talk to Harris County about the removal of bandit signs.

kylejack Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Make a big picket sign that says "Visual Blight" in handwriting and pitch it next to those signs to call attention to the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandLakes Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I can't tell you how many times I have been tempted to take a chainsaw to the two legs of that pooper scoop sign. I think there are no real rules/laws against this because the area is not in a "city". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livincinco Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I can't tell you how many times I have been tempted to take a chainsaw to the two legs of that pooper scoop sign. I think there are no real rules/laws against this because the area is not in a "city".I've wondered that too. If these are unpermitted signs on county property, is there any reason that a private citizen can't go remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Signs on public right of way are liter, and can be removed by any one. I've done that to real estate signs in Houston, as well as ugly crap on light and telephone poles. Even better was when Perry Homes sign guy put up signs on my property. Lots of useful corroplast for me that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it in an unincorporated area of Sugar Land. Volunteers, and the help of the county commissioner for the area and TXDOT.The longer it's allowed to flourish, the worse it will get. Trash attracts more trash, as is obvious there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said they would drive by and address the issue this week. Very nice guy, but I suggest others call him as well. It only took several minutes.
