Is it legal to chain bikes to street signs?

On my way to work I often see bikes chained to street signs. At times, I see the same bikes chained to the same street sign for many days in a row. Is it allowed in Somerville?

In that case I recommend the MBTA's "Write to the Top" program:

I've used twice before and both times the issue (a bus not following its route and a non function sign) were fixed almost a immediately.

I realize you must be thinking, "surely they know about this already", but in many cases they simply do not. The 351 bus was occasionally taking the wrong route for years and many of my coworkers would not take it because of the risk of having to walk the additional half mile. When I finally complained to the T about it, I received a prompt reply apologizing and promising better route instruction for the drivers and I never again was on a bus that went the wrong way.

Yes, and I have used it a few times, however what I'm thinking is, this is the largest bike rack and the busiest station. If this one hasn't been taken care of, it's because they aren't taking care of it.
