Illegal Signs

posted by Noah at 9:24 AM

The goal of IllagalSigns.Ca is to "destroying illegal billboards with the rule of law" and they seem to be having an effect, at least in Toronto, Canada. Here they explain their raison d'etre:
Our Streets are where civic capital is created. Illegal billboards monetize our civic capital, under no colour of right, by treating citizens as consumers first. Illegal billboards commodify what is unique about our neighbourhoods by turning our Streets into pages of a mass-market magazine, without regard to the law. Join us as we fight to legalize and democratize Toronto’Äôs visual environment. Join us as we fight to Reclaim the Streets.
See a map of illegal billboards, and find out what's being done about them on their site HERE.

Life long Torontonian, and I had no idea this was going on. Very funny.
