Dear Owners of Furniture and Amenities on City Right-of-Way:

RE: ANTI-GRAFFITI POLICY - CITY OF VANCOUVER

The Vancouver City Council, at its meeting on June 14,2001, approved a policy for the removal of graffiti from all privately owned above-ground objects of City right-of-way. The policy states:

"THAT as a condition of continued placement of the City street allowance, owners of furniture or amenities (e.g. newsboxes, bus shelters, utility kiosks, garbage containers, hoarding, etc.) be required to remove graffiti within three working days from the date of notification by the City unless a weekly inspection and cleaning program, acceptable to the City, is implemented. Further that any offensive or racist graffiti be removed within 24 hours of notification."

This correspondence is to advise you that the City of Vancouver expects you will take steps to comply with this new policy. Failure to comply with these standards will result in your organization being required to remove your above-ground facilities from the City right-of-way.

If you have any questions, please call me at 873-7292.

Yours truly,

K. Rowan Birch, P.Eng.
Streets Administration Engineer
