Editor:
Excessive and ugly signage along Surrey’s public venues has been a scourge for years, and successive councils seem powerless to deal with the problem effectively.
But there is at least one ugly instance which city council should have been able to address long ago; the monstrous “Softball City” sign at the southwest corner of the 24 Avenue and 148 Street intersection.
Aside from despoiling the natural landscape of South Surrey for several decades, this abomination has been in tatters for months.
Isn’t it time this sign, clearly on city-owned land, was removed once and for all?
It was ugly when it was first foisted on the community back in the mid-’90s and it is a disgrace today.
