Massive Digital Billboards Around Lakewood - Disturbance?
« on: June 05, 2023, 05:43:45 PM »
I for one dislike the massive electronic digital billboards in Lakewood. I think there are now three of them, with the recent addition on the south side of town.

I find them intrusive and in your face.  Also they make things so manhattany....like...it ruins the quality of life of what towns, even bigger ones, are about, or whatever remains of it, in my opinion, besides for being distracting to drivers.

What is your opinion about these massive sized electronic  billboards going up around Lakewood?

Is there a ordinance for this? Or just another township committee under the rug situation

Is that so? This whole thing was very public a couple of years ago.

And then www.takebacklakewood.com shut and people started to forget.

Maybe @takebacklakewood will reach into the archives and post here the history of the billboards, or supply a link to an archive site. It's a wild tale of rigged ordinances, canceled auctions, and backroom deals.

Maybe they got paid off to shut down?

Right now the billboard at Chestnut Street is not flashing. It has a single display from Amerigroup.

My best guess is that they don't want to go straight from nothing to flashing which could feel like too big of a disturbance.
The softer way is to put one steady ad up and slowly introduce more...just a feeling.
