Political Sign Rules During Election Season During election season, it’s important to remember the rules and guidelines regarding displaying political signs in our community. Adhering to these regulations helps maintain a respectful and organized environment for all residents. Here are the key points to keep in mind: • Campaign signs should not interfere with regulatory signs and traffic control devices. • Signs cannot be placed in the Clear Vision Triangle, which extends 30 feet from the intersection corners in each direction. • Those seeking election must obtain permission from private property owners before placing signs. Failure to obtain permission may result in removal of the sign. • Signs are prohibited on property owned by the City, County, Federal Government, and school districts. • Signs within City right-of-way cannot be placed within five feet of the edge of the roadway pavement or curb. • The City of Arden Hills is not responsible for damage to signs placed in the right-of-way. • Signs placed in Ramsey County or State of Minnesota right-of-way are subject to Ramsey County and State of Minnesota consent and regulations. • Do not attach signs to public utility poles, trees, street signs, stoplights, or fences. • Signs must be removed within ten days of the General Election. If the City receives a complaint or finds a violation on City property or the right-of-way, the sign will be removed and stored at Arden Hills City Hall. Per state statute, candidates have ten days following an election to remove signs. If you have any questions, please call City Hall at 651-792-7800. We love food, which leaves us wondering why we let so much of it go to waste. In the U.S., about 40% of food is wasted somewhere along the supply chain, and much of that food waste happens at home. Most of the food we throw in the trash is leftovers or unspoiled food that could have been eaten, according to a recent waste study in Minneapolis. All that wasted food adds up to wasted money. The average family of four spends more than $2,500 on food that goes to waste every year. Take the Stop Food Waste Challenge to learn better strategies for buying food you’ll eat and eating the food you buy. About the Stop Food Waste Challenge The Stop Food Waste Challenge is a month-long effort starting August 1 to help you notice when you are wasting food, commit to actions that will most impact your household, connect you with helpful resources, and provide support and motivation along the way. Businesses, organizations, and community groups can also join the challenge as Stop Food Waste Challenge partners. The challenge runs during the month of August. Join the challenge now at stopfoodwaste.ecochallenge.org!
