We have recently been made aware of a 1993 change in the County Sign
Ordinance that would allow advertising on the bus stops proposed for Danville
Boulevard by Gannet Outdoor Advertising.
Our association is strongly opposed to the erection of bus stops with advertising
signs in Alamo. We believe the presently proposed bus stops would be
inappropriate for Danville Boulevard (which has been designated a scenic route)
and incompatible with the General Plan.
For those reasons we urge that you turn down any attempt to place bus stops in
Alamo which are not compatible with the rural milieu and that advertising signs,
of any kind, continue to be barred from the Danville Boulevard right-of-way.
Sincerely,
Frank N. Lockwood
President
