No person or corporation shall erect or maintain any sign, signboard, poster or rigid canopy over any street, sidewalk, alley or on other public property without having first obtained a permit therefor. Permits for signs, canopies, posters and signboards shall be issued by City Clerk, subject to the approval of the City Council. All signs and canopies extending over any public sidewalk, street, alley or other public place must be securely fastened and constructed so that there will be no danger of the same being dislodged by ordinary winds, or falling from other causes. All awnings and signs shall be elevated at least six and one-half feet at their lowest part from the top of the sidewalk and shall not project over the sidewalk space to exceed three-fourths of the width thereof. No sign, or canopy shall be erected, or maintained, which extends over any public sidewalk, street, alley or other public place in a location as to obstruct the view of any traffic light, sign or signal. Upon the written order of the City Council, any person owning, or occupying the premises where a sign, canopy, poster or signboard is located, shall cause the same to be removed within the time limit specified on the notice.
