There is no provision in the current bylaws to protect signs per say.

they also had a power dam at the foot of bishop power in lasalle

Actually that dam was one of my first exploring sites. It was very dangerous crossing to the island - you had to walk along girders between the concrete walls then climb over a metal frame at the end, wouldn't be a great challenge for grown up UE'ers today , but it was something. Knew a guy that drowned there, was about 13. Today it is a relative tourist thing, but you can still get close to some very powerful rushing water.

Are there any relics of the dam worth seeking out today? The times I've stopped there I didn't find squat.

I don't think so, they more or less filled it in and tore down anything that was sticking above that.

the dam is technically still there and the 3 turbine races allow water to flow through, they did blast a hole in the dyke in the 60s
