Tell Mayor Nutter to veto Bill 140906 and protect Philadelphia's unique visual character



The City of Philadelphia is seeing a proliferation of digital signage going up in prominent places on the city's skyline. In most instances these signs are being proposed by the billboard companies that will benefit financially from them and being approved by our misguided city leaders who erroneously believe the bright, flashing billboards are signs of economic development.



The city is already seeing the negative repercussion of a proliferation of digital signage. The enormous digital billboard that just went up on top of the Lit Brothers building on Market Street is causing a great amount of consternation among neighbors who find that the new sources of light are diminishing the quality of life in their homes.



Meanwhile over on the world-renowned Ben Franklin Parkway, the Franklin Institute wants to put a flashing digital sign in front of the building, perhaps opening the historic street up to a barrage of digital signs. And elsewhere the city is being inundated with proposals to allow atrocious digital signage all over our city's streets.



It's time to say enough is enough. Sign the petition below to let the Mayor Nutter know that Philadelphia doesn't need anymore outdoor advertising.
