Yesterday, “06880” posted a(nother) story on sign pollution. It featured (sigh) a stop sign with another sign at the bottom pleading “Please No Signs.”
At the end, I challenged readers to send photos of the worst sign polluters in town. I promised to post the “winner.”
Aka, the “loser.”
John Karrel is our man. He cites his “least favorite” corner: the intersection of Hillspoint and Greens Farms Road.

He writes:
- It is an UGLY sign
- You’re not supposed to pitch a business.
- Would someone really choose a fitness option this way?!
Please don’t answer that.
sSigns like this and all election signs are imply VISUAL POLLUTION; they don’t sway votes, they may turn people off if enough of them intrude on one’s psyche…The town should ban them…..
Has anyone ever voted based on a lawn sign?
Yes I have IF the sign was on the lawn of someone I know and respect.
Signs are the least of problems at that particular intersection.
I live in Norwalk, and take sign like that down in my neighborhood. There is no free advertising near where I live!
Off topic
Perhaps I’m being naive, but as November nears, I
hope there will not be the rabid sign related disputes
that showed the bitter political division that racked the
town previously. How about Signage Civility?
– just a thought –
