SUBJECT: CITY GOALS SETTING FORUM
Dear Council Members,
Protect Scenic 101 encourages prioritizing OPEN SPACE WITHOUT BILLBOARDS for Highway 101 entries
to the City, consistent with the General Plan Conservation and Open Space Element (9.3.11 Billboard
Removal). As Councilmember Marx points out in a recent New Times article, protection of open
space viewsheds is increasingly important for mental well -being as urban development and
population increase.
In that benefits of long-term open space viewshed protection are greatly diminished by
intrusive billboards, PS101 encourages directing staff to seek conservation easements which
involve billboard removal -- for restoring and protecting scenic viewshed resources.
We’ll appreciate consideration of our suggestion.
Sincerely,
Sherri Danoff, Coordinator
