City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Can't Fix #146615

Other:

Other: Public spaces, be they roundabouts, street corners, boulevard medians or just the grassy strips along sidewalks are regularly cluttered with signs for events and services. What are the rules about these things? I suppose there is a spectrum of acceptability, ranging from school performances to community theater to summer camps, but more and more often I am seeing them being used to advertise businesses. In the attached photo you will see that there are signs on the Moores Pike traffic circle for the C3 bar in Renwick. Earlier this year the south side of town, and I imagine elsewhere, was awash in signs for some transient snake oil salesman. I would like to know what the law allows and why there is no enforcement. I think signs for a bar really cross the line. Thank you, Bob Flynn 1917 E Arden Drive

Based on a court decision issued just last month, the City will not be removing or issuing violations for the placement of the signage about which you’ve inquired. However, such placement cannot cause safety hazards (such as a line-of-sight issue at an intersection) or impede public works projects. Given the fact the court decision is so recent, it’s not yet been determined what code changes might be considered in future Unified Development Ordinance discussions.
