Oppose RFP for IKE Sidewalk Kiosk Program
Passed by
- Pacific Palisades Community Council (modified version)
- West LA-Sawtelle Neighborhood Council
- Westside Neighborhood Council
Motion
Refers to City Council file 22-1154-S1
“_____ NC/CC, a member of the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (WRAC), opposes Council File 22-1154-S1 and the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the interactive digital kiosk program, because it would:
“1) allow installation of hundreds of 8 to 9 foot tall two-sided digital advertising kiosks on sidewalks through the City, which WRAC previously opposed in January 2023 (https://westsidecouncils.com/wp–content/uploads/2022/11/WRAC–Letter–re–IKE–program.pdf), and
“2) directly compete with, and undermine, the success of the City’s Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) and other community benefit programs that the City and its transit riders rely upon to provide much-needed shade, shelter, transit information and public service announcements.”
