Billboard
This past weekend I drove past the billboard at 28th and B'way on several occasions, and it was not active. This was both on Sat. and Sun., has anyone noticed whether or not it is on this week?
As for Michael's comments, a few bits of info. GW Performance, the business operated on the lot where the sign was installed, does not own the property, and likely didn't control the sign's installation. The property owner's live here in Portland, but not in the neighborhood. I think writing them letters would be one idea.
The sign as it stands is legal, so it doesn't seem we can "force" them to take it down. As was pointed out in the GPNA newsletter, targeting the advertizers who use the medium seems like a good tactic.
The other info. I'd like to offer is that Multi-light, at the corner of 33rd and NE B'way has also applied for a permit for an electronic billboard. Since it has not yet been approved and installed, it seems like a good idea to let Multi-light know how we, as a neighborhood, feel about their plan to install an electronic billboard on their property. Maybe we can prevent that one from going up.
