Betsy Russell
Hillway Drive
Boise, ID 83702
ISSUE: Yard sale signs on Harrison Boulevard were taken down due to City Code that prohibits signs. She is concerned that there will be no other way for neighbors in the North End to alert each other to yard sales. She thinks it’s inconsistent that real estate signs, which are also temporary, are allowed.
