BILLBOARDS - Akron and Cleveland
http://realneo.us/content/billboards-akron-and-cleveland

ummary information regarding current legislative actions and discussions in Cleveland and Akron with regards to outdoor media advertising and in particular digital billboards.

CLEVELAND - In June 2008 Ordinance No. 945-08 was introduced to amend the City of Cleveland’s Billboard Ordinance, 350.10. That same month, there was an active variance request by Clear Channel (Calendar No. 08-97:, 12510 Triskett Road) to replace an existing static billboard which eventually received approval.

These two issues generated a local interest in Cleveland to take a closer look at the existing legislation.

My comments reflect the Letter to Ed. that I wrote Aug. 13; The Federal Highway Administration is finally conducting research on the safety of digital billboards. Two studies done by "the industry" claining they were safe were thoroughly debunked by Jerry A Wachtel, chairman of the Transportation Reasearch Board for the Maryland State Highway Adminintration. Therefore, until a viable study is completed, it would make sense to not permit additional digital billboards in Akron,
