Excuse me, Dan. the City owns those boulevards with easements to the Park Board who maintains all the trees in the Boulevards. There are both city and Park Board ordinances that govern those boulevards and those ordinances say "no signs". And for the past 30 years there have been untold numerous debates about Boulevard gardens which even has their own set of regulations ironed out with the Committee on Urban Environment.
Sorry Dan...ask the St. Anthony Park folks about this misunderstanding - they themselves have just found out this information also. We have found that many realtors don't even know the rules and regulations regaring the boulevards and don't tell homeowners that the city and parks are responsible for the area from the sidewalk to the streets. There have always been a few signs each election year and a realtor or two sometime sneaks a sign up but this is the firt year it appears to be "out of control" and everyone is doing it. Not good.
