I'd like to propose a law or by-law that property owners (including the city, plus mail boxes, etc) be responsible for cleaning up grafitti on their property within 48 hours. So, if I own a retail shop and my exterior walls have been tagged, it's my job to clean it up within 48 hours or the city will do it and I receive a fine.
Basically I'm treating grafitti like litter or dumping. If someone dumps garbage in my front lawn, for example, it's my responsibility to clean it up.
So, would you support such a law or by-law? IMO, Canada Post should have a 48 hour system in place now, since their mail boxes are seen every day by their employees, and all that needs to happen is for the employee to report the grafitti and the next day the mail box is repainted.
In this fashion, taggers will likely leave the mail boxes alone, which of course means that everyone needs the same 48 hour clean-up by-law otherwise the taggers will move from mailboxes to other property.
