Motion
Refers to City Council file 22-0392
“The _____ NC/CC, a member of the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (WRAC), opposes the pending installation of the Metro Transportation Communication Network (TCN) structures along the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles, North of the 10 Freeway interchange. These structures will be located in Council Districts 11 and 5 in Metro’s Exposition Blvd. right-of-way. Council Files: 22-0392 and 22-0392-S1 (CFMS) (lacity.org)
Background
Note: As explained in the Background document above, the TCN program DEIR originally considered 4 planned installations for the 405/10 interchange area: 2 very large freeway facing (FF) digital billboards, and 2 smaller non-freeway facing (NFF) digital billboards. We are now advised that the 2 smaller NFF billboards were removed before final approval of the TCN program, i.e., they are no longer pending. Installation of the 2 large FF billboards is still pending as part of the approved TCN program. See the City Council-approved Ordinance, pp. 14 and 21.
