Comments on: Candidates Warned Of ACHD Sign Law https://boiseguardian.com/2012/09/20/candidates-warned-of-achd-political-sign-law/ A different slant on the news. Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:29:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Zippo https://boiseguardian.com/2012/09/20/candidates-warned-of-achd-political-sign-law/#comment-34963 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:29:34 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/?p=8874#comment-34963 FYI: If a sign is posted on private land the owner/manager of said land can remove it without a trace. ACHD should do the same.

Unlawful mailbox-stuffers this year? I have the phone number of a postal cop who will investigate.

I understand the reasons they don’t, but I think there’s far more potential for signs to violate the rules than there is for people to pluck out non-offending signs just because they don’t like the candidate.

Candidates just put signs wherever they want…..

Here is what I was Told…..

If a candidate puts a sign where it is not allowed they get picked up by ACHD. Then the candidate goes and picks up the pile from ACHD and puts them back. kinda a cat and mouse, but you will get good locations.

While he’s out policing political signs, he can notice the weeds and trash and get it on the schedule. Should be lots of slack labor right now too, because he’s done with chipseal with several months before snow and ice.

My experience is that if you give ACHD specifics about an individual problem, they’re usually quite responsive in getting it resolved, or explaining why it is the way it is, at least.

And it’s easy; just email:
tellus@achd.ada.id.us

(I contact them when the intersection signals don’t respect my bicycle and give me a green light, broken glass in the road, etc.)

Please clear the weeds and generally clean up ACHD controlled areas. Many intersections have overgrowth of vegetation blocking the view of cross traffic and even stop signs in many cases. Nearly all of your roadways are lined with weeds and look trashy. Too many of your bridge abutments and manhole covers provide a nasty bump and the rockchips you insist on spreading cause addition tire stress while also increasing emergency stopping distance.

EDITOR NOTE–You seem off topic Zip. The story is about political signs. At least give Wong some specifics so he can fix a problem. How about a location or even a photo to show the man?

Enforcement seems pretty much nonexistent. Consider: “Temporary” signs (other than political, house for sale, etc.) are illegal, and have been for years, yet how many signs do you see for:
– TV and Internet $39.95
– Sprinkler Blowouts
– Personal Trainer
– Yard Sale (weeks after the sale took place)
etc., etc.
