Phoenix City Council vote on billboards

On December 7th, the Phoenix City Council is set to vote on a set of more relaxed ordinances, which would allow the construction of new of billboards along freeways and in our neighborhoods.

As ordinary citizens and residents of Phoenix you already know we’re tired of the City caving in to the national billboard companies, putting up massive new billboards in neighborhoods and opening up new, unmarred freeways for billboards. Cities all over the country, from Scottsdale to Tucson, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Washington D.C. to Boston have gone the other way, cracking down on this sort of blight.

If we are going to put a stop to City Hall’s nonsense we need your help!
Clear Views Phoenix is asking that you come out and speak up against billboards at the December 7th city council meeting. With your support we can encourage City Hall to take action to stop enormous signs and ‘TVs on a stick.
