Businesses in Anoka County have been give permission to use temporary road signs to inform the public about its operations during COVID-19.
“The Anoka County Board of Commissioners is allowing temporary signage in county right-of-way areas to assist our local businesses in this time of economic uncertainty,” Anoka County Commissioners Board Chair Scott Schulte told Hometown Source. “If businesses choose to take advantage of this opportunity, they should follow rules recently established by our Highway Department for this type of signage.”
Businesses can use the signs to announce re-openings and alternative service delivery options it is offering as the result of the coronavirus pandemic. The signs must not interfere with roadway intersections, roadway sightlines, existing county signage or posts, access to pedestrian push buttons or sidewalks, or access to business or residential areas. They also can’t be located in the center median of a roadway, contain attachments such as lighting or balloons, or include vulgar or discriminatory language and/or images.
The temporary signs will be allowed to stay up for two months following the end of the stay-at-home order in Minnesota.
