Action Alert: Tell La Mesa City Council: NO DIGITAL BILLBOARDS IN OUR COMMUNITY!

We need your help to prevent the approval of new, illegal digital billboards in La Mesa!
The La Mesa City Council will be meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, September 26, to once again discuss the issue of digital billboards. This is after the City Council voted 3-2 not to support new digital billboards! We must tell the City Council not to go back on their prior vote, and insist that they listen to the community!
In addition to being illegal by letter of the law, the proposal presents several other issues:

1. The proposed location of these billboards on I-8 is one of the busiest sections of highway in the city, presenting a dangerous level of distraction to drivers not used to seeing these illuminated signs.
2. This proposal seems to ignore the due diligence and fact finding necessary for such a project. The City Council should commission a study to investigate the implications on traffic, safety, land ownership, as well as the established laws preventing digital billboards.
3. By submitting the proposal through an RFP process, the ad hoc subcommittee is effectively selling the beauty of La Mesa county to the highest bidder.

Please click the button below to submit a public comment to the City Council stating your opposition to this proposal. Comments will close 24 hours prior to the meeting, so please submit your comments by 6 PM Pacific on Monday, September 25.
