Portable Signs Bylaw Decision Halted for Further Review
LETHBRIDGE – After a nearly three hour long public hearing, Lethbridge City Council decided to put off a decision on the Portable Signs Bylaw just a little longer.
Suggestions from the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) would build upon the bylaw currently in place. The goal is to reduce driver distractions by placing a number of limits on certain portable signs.
The major changes could include new digital display controls, restricting which intersections signs can be placed near and how fines and non-compliance are dealt with.
The draft bylaw can be viewed on the April 18 council agenda available on the city’s website.
