Writer asks, could sign in question be on state right of way?

Sign in question: Comments on the sign on the Greensburg entrance into Columbia, and questions about its location, legal or illegal placement?
By Victoria Pike

I agree 100 percent on taking that sign down. Now here is my question? If it is on state right of way, it is illegally placed anyway since signs on state right of way are illegal and can be removed by the state.

Second, if it is on someone’s property, check with the PVA’s office. They have records of who owns property in Adair County.

Third, go ask land owner if you can take it down. I consider any sign illegally placed as part of litter on the highway and it is the duty of concerned citizens to pick it up and remove to the trash.



As a resident of New Columbia, area near Walmart, it is a daily fight to keep the corners clear of signs since somebody always wants to sell something.

I have nothing against folks and the proper form of advertising. However, most come throw the signs up and never remove them. Roll around spring and mowing time. Wires and post down in the ground and mowing crews incite hundreds of dollars of damage to tires and equipment mowing over all this.

Our community needs to be kept in tip top shape from all entrances. We are growing at a pace we haven’t seen for years and you never know who might ride through from any direction. More community pride needs to be taken by all our citizens to see that our roadsides stay litter and sign free.

If one needs to place a sign, please place it on private property with the permission of the owner.

So I urge all property owners to attempt to maintain the frontage of your property as best you can. Whether it is picking up trash, removing unsightly materials, or keeping it well groomed and mowed. Thank you Linda, Ben and Hunter for showing your concern for OUR community.
