Important meeting today at RDOS in Penticton.

Okanagan Shuswap District Manager Murray Tekano to speak to board meeting.

Will Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) advise their contractor Argo to take down illegal signs in the highways right of way?

Highways had agreed with a joint project with the Regional District but maybe be getting cold feet because of pressure about third party signage.

ODN is told that Highways will ask that more time be used to study the issue before enforcement.

The RDOS is thinking about amending its own Zoning Bylaw with regard to signage for farmers but wants enforcement to continue prior to the summer.

Are the people along the highway getting mixed messages?

When contacted Area C Director says he believes most of the property owners and residents in his rural district favour a cleanup. He states that his Area Planning Commission also had stated a cleanup of distracting signage is a priority.
