No Digital Billboards in SJ is working to inspire people who care about #SanJose to send the City Council the explicit message - No Digital Billboards!
The digital signs block views of the architecturally significant Center for Performing Arts. From the back, the signs are ugly walls.
Ads for national brands will run 85% of the time.
The City’s plan includes more of these eyesores around downtown coming soon

The 672 sq foot digital #billboard proposed for Mission St & HWY 87 is designed to be seen by drivers 1/2 mile away on the freeway, but according to the #environmental report, people living 350 feet south of the sign will not be affected. What nonsense.

This site and others have been reported MANY times to Code Enforcement.
A case is created, but historically nothing is corrected as a result the complaint.
It's usually fixed when the next ad installation occurs independent of any City action.
Same site. Earlier 2025 & 2024.

If installing digital #billboards all over #SanJose is City leaders' idea of economic development and visionary policy, we’re in a sad state.
Claims that local business will benefit are highly questionable.

Ask any Council member or decision maker at #SanJose City Hall if they'd be OK with a 672 sq. ft digital display that close to THEIR house, no matter what high tech light directing technology is claimed to help mitigate the impact? Link to project plan: tinyurl.com/9p8jpfv4
