Signs promoting charitable and other events may be posted temporarily in windows. Yard sales, diet scams and even charities are getting ripped on in Waterford Township. Because the signs bloom with summer's heat, the township's code enforcement team will hit the streets this summer in an ongoing cleanup effort, hoping the sign-happy will get the hint. Like many communities, Waterford doesn't allow signs to be posted along roadways, on utility poles or road signs. This summer, the code enforcement team members will regularly go out and pull down the signs, even when they wish they didn't have to.
Residents seem to be split over the matter.
I think they need to go. No one really pays attention to them. Two weeks ago, the code enforcement team cleaned up 281 signs in four hours. That was considered a success, but Vallina realizes how limited that success is. There is no real way to identify those posting signs, Vallina said.
