Billboards in the City

Ellen Biales, Council Member Lantry's aide, is asking for our help with a billboard project. When the City Council passed its updated billboard ordinance, the ordinance anticipated a follow-up resolution to identify high priority billboards across the city that should be removed if the billboard companies want to exchange them for dynamic display signs. The Council would like to pass a resolution that includes high priority locations from which billboards should be removed. They would like us to identify 2-3 billboards that we would like to see removed.

If you need some reminders of potential locations, Scenic Saint Paul has a slide show by ward of all the billboards in the city (we are in Ward 7). You can access the slide show at this website.

Please let Betsy know at the district council office (651.501.6345, or district1council@aol.com) about your priorities. Deadline is October 29.
