Here is a reminder from Belmont Town Clerk Ellen Cushman to all residents who have or are about to display a political sign:
“The Town Clerk reminds residents that all campaign and political signs MUST only be placed for display on private property.
Specifically, the “sidewalk strip” or “tree strip” in front of your home, as well as the delta islands, playgrounds, school grounds and parks are all public property and no signs may be placed there.
If a campaign or political sign is being held, the person holding the sign may stand or sit on the public property to display the sign, however the sign may not be left unattended or leaning against a wall or tree awaiting the next sign holder. At no time can a person holding the sign obstruct the public’s access to the public property.
If you are out and about in Belmont and notice a campaign or political sign located on public property, please email townclerk@belmont-ma.gov or phone the Town Clerk’s office at 617-993-2600. We will contact the campaign to have the sign moved immediately or have it removed.”
