Advertising along the Doodle Trail

Dear Editor,

Perhaps our Easley and Pickens city councils could look into the increasing placement of advertising signs on our beautiful Doodle Trail.

I think trail users enjoy getting away from the near-constant barrage of advertising in our lives, and don’t want the Doodle to become another advertising venue akin to billboards along the highways.

On Friday, I saw signs advertising food, drink, garbage disposal, roofing, job offers and church activities, among others. I also saw at least one political advertisement chalked on the trail’s pavement. Perhaps the “rules” signs posted along the trail should include “commercial uses, including advertising signs, are prohibited.”
