Calling all Philadelphians who care about our visual environment. Councilman DiCicco, as part of his exit strategy from City Council has proposed three devastatingly blighting signage bills... all disapproved by our Planning Commission, for the June 7th Rules Committee.
Bill 110306 - Granting the Owner of Rique Video a a "spot zone" on our riverfront, to legalize and digitalize a currently illegal Risque Cabaret billboard on the roof of a daycare facility.
Bill 100720 - creating a special advertising zone on Market East - the gateway to Independence Hall, allowing huge digital signage, wall wraps and extremely oversized accessory signage.
Lastly Bill 100678 - legalizing the rebuilding of billboards displaced by the I95 expansion, even if they are in a backyard, close to a school, park or church.
A call to action - sign on to this petition in opposing the passage of these bills, and protecting Philadelphia's skyline. In addition, let your powerful voice be heard, come and give your testimony at the June 7th Rules Committee Hearing. Room 400 City Hall at 10:00.
We the undersigned urge the Rules Committee to vote "no" to Councilman DiCicco's bills 100678, 100720 and 110306.
We sign to protect our city's visual environment and preserve the aesthetic beauty of our city.
