City cracks down on illegal signs cluttering public spaces
Residents of Twinsburg have expressed growing frustration over the proliferation of unauthorized signs cluttering public spaces throughout the city. During a recent government meeting, officials addressed the issue, emphasizing that these signs violate local ordinances that prohibit their placement on public property, including curbs, sidewalks, and other right-of-way areas.

City representatives highlighted that the signs, often posted during late hours or weekends, lack meaningful content and primarily serve a narrow audience. This disregard for the law not only detracts from the city's aesthetic, especially during major events, but also places an additional burden on city staff tasked with managing complaints and removing the signs.

Officials reiterated that while they prefer to issue verbal warnings to offenders, the ongoing violation of the ordinance may necessitate stricter enforcement, including citations. Residents are encouraged to report any unauthorized signs found on their property, as the city aims to maintain a clean and welcoming environment.

The building department has been particularly impacted, spending significant time each week addressing the issue instead of focusing on other pressing tasks. City leaders urged those responsible for placing the signs to cease their actions and to seek legal alternatives, such as obtaining permission from property owners for placement in private yards. The message was clear: the city will take action to uphold its regulations and ensure public spaces remain free of illegal signage.
