The US Federal Court of Appeals has decided the City of Bradford has made enough changes in its sign ordinance to make it constitutional. In 2004, Fred Pysher, Tom Riel and Dianne Thompson challenged the city's ordinance after being fined. Over the years, changes were made and, this morning, a three-judge panel decided they didn't have to make any further changes. Vic Walczak of the ACLU is the lawyer for Pysher, Riel and Thompson and says that although today's decision didn't go their way, they believe they've won some battles. Lawyers for the city say they're hopeful that the decision will mark the end of the litigation. They add that the city's ordinances are similar to those adopted by municipalities across Pennsylvania that are designed to promote public safety, historic preservation and community aesthetics. Wolczak says they're evaluating the case and, among the options are asking the entire federal court of appeals to review the case; or petition the US Supreme Court.
