[img]886|left|||no_popup[/img]You may wonder what a new City Councilman does on a weekend six weeks after he has won a snug two-way race for the City Council.
In Jeff Cooper’s case, he was being pro-active again, as he had promised before edging Meghan Sahli-Wells last April.
Randomly placed signs long have been regarded as an intolerable blot on the Culver City landscape.
Last Sunday, as you can see from the photo, Mr. Cooper drove to SDouth Sepulveda Boulevard to the east-side-of-the-street site where a KFC fast-food store was shut down some months ago.
Mr. Cooper said he wanted to remind residents that Culver City has a sign ordinance that clearly limits placement of signs.
The Councilman urged residents to dial City Hall (310.253.6000) and ask for Code Enforcement when they see signage that appears to be in violation of the law.
“During election season,” Mr. Cooper said, “you can legally put signs in your front yard, but not in the public right-of-way. If you go to the corner of Venice and Sepulveda, which is in Los Angeles, you will see a proliferation of signage in the public right-of-way. That lets you know you have left Culver City.
“I am proud our city has a sign ordinance because it protects us from the kinds of eyesores you see elsewhere.”
