Massive Digital Billboards in Inglewood? It makes you want to
SCREAM!
Billboard corporations want to turn Inglewood — the City of Champions — into the City for Sale. Their plan would flood our neighborhoods with massive, Vegas-style digital billboards that block our skies, create light pollution, clutter our streets, and distract drivers. Worse, City Hall is allowing our public streets and sidewalks to be sold off to billboard companies with
little restriction. Our public spaces should belong to the community — not to corporate advertising. Let’s protect Inglewood.
1. Inglewood Is NOT For Sale
Inglewood public streets and sidewalks should serve residents — not billboard corporations. But that didn’t stop City Hall from signing a 40-year, no-bid contract giveaway of our public space to a private billboard company. 40 years of massive, Vegas-style digital billboards flooding our neighborhoods! THEY PROFIT. WE PAY.
2. Public Spaces Belong to People
Inglewood taxpayers spent millions beautifying streets and medians—planting palm trees and expensive landscaping. Now those improvements have been ripped out to make way for digital billboards that block our skies, create light pollution and clutter our streets.
3. Bad Deal for Inglewood
Inglewood is one of the most valuable entertainment markets in the country. But cities like Santa Monica (with fewer residents) negotiated better deals—fewer billboards, stronger protections, and way more money for city services. The money guaranteed Inglewood is barely enough to pay for the landscaping they ripped out.
4. Power to the People of Inglewood
This is about our power, our voice and our right to vote. When a longtime Inglewood resident tried to bring this to the ballot, the city sued to stop her— using our taxpayer money. Fortunately, City Hall and the billboard company lost.
A judge said the people deserve a say and now we’re making sure they get it.
OUR SKIES AND PUBLIC SPACES ARE BEING TAKEN OVER.
It seems that everywhere we turn, our public spaces are being flooded by these Vegas-style digital billboards that block our skies, create light pollution, clutter our streets, and distract drivers. This has to stop.
