City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Duplicate #202730

Temporary Signage w/o permit:

Other: One of the purposes of UDO's section 'Signs' is 'to avoid unneccessary proliferation of signs'. There still are close to 20 blue 'Light the Way' signs on E First Street between Woodlawn and Eagleson. The promised 'signage sweep by Planning staff' (March 18, 2025 quote) must not have taken place yet. The sign at 1320 E First in the grass next to the sidewalk is illegal, according to the Elevate map. Property does not extend all the way to the sidewalk.

Planning staff did perform a sweep of the area to remove all signage located in a prohibited location a while ago. Upon inspection many the signs to which you are referring were placed in a code-compliant location on private property. If they are now placed in a prohibited sign location, they will be removed by City staff eventually, but signage is our lowest priority as we are swamped with many other code cases and projects. We will continue to perform regular sweeps around the entire City, not just in targeted locations, to continue to remove signage from prohibited locations as we have time.
