[Massplanners] Sandwich Board/Projecting Signs

[Ali Carter]

Hi everyone,


Arlington updated the sign section (6.2) of our Zoning Bylaw in 2019 and all 
the issues Eric raises are addressed.


Projecting signs (aka blade or bracket signs) are allowed in business zones. 

Sandwich board signs can be approved by a temporary sign permit application 
process, but for these specific temporary signs the approval term does not 
expire.
Electronic messaging signs are prohibited.
Thanks,

Good Morning All:


The City of Greenfield is looking into amending its sign regulations 
relative to sandwich board signs and electronic messaging signage.  I am 
looking for information on the following:


- Does your community require approval from a municipal entity (Licensing 
Commission, Board of Public Works, etc.) to allow sandwich board signs and 
projecting signs to be placed over or within within the public ROW?;
- Does your community's sign regulations have standards for sandwich board 
signs;
- Does your community have standards for electronic messaging signage?


Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.  Also, if you have 
a really good bylaw or ordinance on signage, please forward a copy or link 
to them.


Eric
