Gee Sicuan owns G Salon on LeMarchant Road in St. John's. (Eddy Kennedy/CBC)When Gee Sicuan opened G Salon on LeMarchant Road, with a large "g" filling the window, he was surprised to hear the letter was too big. According to the city's sign bylaws for heritage areas, window signs can't occupy more than 50 per cent of the window, and individual characters on a window sign can't be taller than 45 centimetres. "The sign is the most important for small businesses," Sicuan said. 'It should be easier for us'The salon is located in the former Formosa Tea House on LeMarchant Road, a protected heritage building.
