Tall 85-foot sign rises at Bayfair Montgomery Ward
Wayne Wutak, manager of the Montgomery Ward store at Bayfair in San Leandro, watches an 85-foot sign being installed. The sign, erected yesterday, towers over mall shops and is visible from East 14th Street Hes perian Boulevard and the nearby Bay Area Rapid transit station. The San Leandro City Council approved the sign after previously overturning a zoning panel decision that would have limited height to 68 feet, a reversal prompted by visibility from main streets.
