Although a fairly new organization, CBBB is leading the fight against runaway billboards and related visual blight in Los Angeles. The CBBB website contains great info on how to get involved by writing to the various government bodies considering regulation of signage in the City. For too long, the outdoor advertising industry has been free to ignore City regulations with little punative action taken by the City. The few regs that the City has are going largely unenforced by the City Attorney. And, whenever action is taken by the City, the industry sues. My neighbors and I are sick and tired of illegally erected signs, of lights blaring into our windows from signs, of our community plan restrictions being ignored. CBBB is helping to lead the fight against these abuses. Hopefully, Angelenos from ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY will join together on this. CBBB is the place where we can come together to protect driver safety, scenic resources and our neighborhoods.
