Hi CAC neighbors, We have our next Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting on Tuesday, September 23 at 7:00 PM. The Zoom link is at the bottom of this email. INFORMATION UPDATES: One of our agenda items is a presentation about a possible text change regarding outdoor advertising and digital signage in Raleigh. At the Tuesday, September 2nd City Council meeting this topic was discussed. Click here for the minutes and a video of the digital signage discussion. While looking at the minutes you can click on the video, which should start at the beginning of this particular Council discussion. As I understand the text change, they are not asking for an increase in the number of billboards in Raleigh. They are seeking the ability to make many of them digital signs, and the ability to relocate signs to other locations. Also an increase in size and height of signs. At the bottom of this email are maps of current locations and areas for future relocations. Attached is a PDF of the Digital Billboards presentation made to the Safe, Vibrant & Healthy Community Committee on August 26. We also have major changes to how Raleigh conducts City Council elections, including the introduction of a primary for the 2026 election. This will all be explained […]
