City spokesperson Kelly Straub previously told News 3 that the tagging was believed to have happened early Saturday morning, adding:
"Because of the age of the current signs, the Department of Transportation’s Traffic Operations team will cover them as the cleaning solution typically used will cause further damage. A contractor is being scheduled to remove the four signs, which is expected to cost approximately $20,000. We do not currently have a replacement total."
