Neighborhood Groups Fight Digital Billboards

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): Many Indianapolis neighborhood advocates are fighting a proposal that could allow as many as 75 digital billboards around the city. 

A city-county council committee voted this month in favor of changing city zoning ordinances that now ban flashing lights and animation on advertising signs.

Marjorie Kienle of Historic Urban Neighborhoods of Indianapolis tells the Indianapolis Business Journal that allowing digital billboards with their frequently changing images could hurt redevelopment efforts in the city.

A spokesman for two billboard companies says they are asking the city-county council to delay Monday's planned vote on the proposal. Spokesman Trenton Hahn tells WTHR-TV that the companies want more time to meet with neighborhood groups to discuss their concerns.
