City Hall has approved a major change following a recent poll that suggests that as much as 50% of North Americans have never actually seen a construction project completed. The previous construction signs around the city featured a man digging up a pile of dirt with a shovel, but just today, a bill was passed to change the signs to feature sights much more likely to be seen at a construction site, like a Tim Hortons coffee cup or a cigarette. This change, though logical, was argued to be a poor use of city money; signs, on average, take 5 days for fragments of Tim Hortons cups and cigarettes to get plastered all over them anyway.
Signs around construction sites displaying items that must be worn like reflective vests, boots, and helmets, have now been changed to aim for more realistic and achievable goals; they now display socks, shirts, and underwear.
