Question Title

* 2. ABOUT YOU

Please check all answers that apply to you.

Question Title

* 3. THE SIGN LANDSCAPE IN VAUGHAN

There are many types of permanent and temporary signs that exist.   Please share your comments concerning signage, such as what the City should strive to achieve or avoid with signage legislation, the types of signs and related rules that should be permitted and how they should come together in the Vaughan landscape.

Question Title

* 4. DIGITAL AND BILLBOARD SIGNS

In Phase One, the City received several suggestions that digital and billboard signage should be allowed to be used throughout the  City in non-residential areas.   Please share your opinion, including whether you support this idea, your reasoning, and any restrictions that you think should apply to digital signs.

Question Title

* 5. FEATHER BANNER SIGNS

In Phase One, the City received suggestions that "feather banners" should be allowed; feather banners are signs constructed of non-rigid materials attached to a rigid pole which is anchored to the ground, thus resembling a feather. Suggestions were to allow feather banners at sales centres, car dealerships, for special events or store openings.

Please share your opinions, including as to whether they should be allowed, for what types of businesses or occasions, and for how long.

Question Title

* 6. HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS

The City of Vaughan has four Heritage Conservation Districts, Thornhill, Kleinburg-Nashville, Woodbridge and Maple, in which designated buildings, streets and open spaces are protected and enhanced to retain the unique identities of those areas.   

What should signage rules be for these areas, and should this differ from the rest of the City?
