Frequent Questions:

What is Sign Sweepers?  When you drive around Columbia you might notice signs that are placed in the median, taped to a utility pole or stop sign informing you about an upcoming sale or event.  Did you know these signs are unlawful and can be removed?
 
A new volunteer program called Sign Sweepers has been started to proactively address the these illegal signs.   Volunteers are asked to spend a few hours each month removing unlawful signs from the city’s right-of-way.  All signs collected are placed behind City Hall.
