SUBJECT: Placement of Yard Signs
To maintain the safety and efficiency of our groundskeeping operations, all yard signs must be installed only in mulch beds. Signs placed in lawn areas will be removed without notice.This is necessary due to the robotic mowers operating on the Mall, CFA lawn, and the CUT. These mowers are unable to detect and avoid signs placed in grassy areas, resulting in damage to both the signs and the equipment.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our campus safe and well-maintained.
