Oppose Electronic Sign at Obama (Webster) Elementary School
We, the undersigned, strongly oppose plans for the erection of an electronic sign in front of the Barack Obama school at 707 Holly Ave., St. Paul, MN. We oppose it for the following reasons:
1. The sign will detract from the historic residential nature of the neighborhood and constitute and annoyance and eyesore to neighbors.
2. It would degrade already deflated property values
3. It constitutes a frivolous use of taxpayer money that serves no educational purpose.
4. A scrolling, electronic sign may cause traffic congestion or accidents in the neighborhood.
5. It will generate light pollution in a otherwise peaceful neighborhood.

The sign doesn't fit the character of the neighborhood. The school is in a residential area and a lighted sign doesn't help attract attention in an area where there isn't much traffic.

I haven't seen any compelling reasons for the sign. It will be an eyesore and has no place in this neighborhood.

This is a peaceful, quiet, sedate neighborhood and most of us moved here for that and for the quaint and beautiful architecture. Please do not put up a commercial sign like some cheap, Las Vegas casino might to keep us up at night and pollute the sight lines.
School, church, business - I would write the same to any of these.
Thank you for considering our neighborhood.

This sign is totally unnecessary and is a frivolous waste of taxpayer funds.

Scrolling electronic signs in historic districts are not aesthectically pleasing. Moreover, the sign could actually make property values go down.
Please do not erect this sign!
