What changes have been made to make it easier to install murals for graffiti prevention?
Outdoor murals in the City of Ottawa are regulated under the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law 2005-439. In June 2008, Council approved amendments to this by-law to reduce barriers and enable outdoor murals. The amendments included: removing fees and permit requirements, allowing murals in areas zoned institutional, and significantly increasing the allowable size parameters.
