Twitter has been filled overnight with messages of opposition to the digital sign proposed for the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens. The sign would sit on Millwood Rd near the location of the present billboard. According to the posts, the vote on the new sign comes Tuesday at City Council. One tweet from Change.org writes in detail of resident opposition. It says eleven ratepayer groups oppose the sign apparently fearing a precedent for such signs near homes and low rise-shopping districts. These bodies are petitioning Mayor Tory to defer the sign matter. Twitter
