“What’s proposed isn’t going to dissuade bad behaviour.' yyc
On Wednesday, Calgary city councillors will debate proposed changes to rules around election signs in an effort to cut down on clutter in public spaces and boulevards. But some councillors feel the proposal doesn’t go far enough.
City administration’s proposed amendments would also increase the minimum fines to $100, up from $75, while tickets worth $125 would change to $200.Political ads, promises expected to intensify as Alberta creeps closer to provincial election According to city administration, complaints to 311 about temporary signs increase by an average of 27 per cent in years when an election is held, despite being a common complaint during campaign periods.Campaign strategists say election signs are critical to garner their candidate some name recognition amongst voters, especially if their candidate isn’t an incumbent.
However, Biggs said she expects issues with enforcement given the minor change to minimum distances between signs.“It is important to try to clean up the landscape a little bit, but I don’t think that it’s a realistic goal,” Biggs told Global News. “Do we have enough bylaw enforcement? The bylaws are already stretched thin, resources are stretched thin.”Sign manufacturers and printers are ready and waiting for the calls to roll in as Alberta approaches its upcoming election scheduled for May 29.
