Lilburn to consider OutFront Media billboard swap in exchange for removing stationary faces
Summary
Councilmembers heard that OutFront Media proposed removing 10 stationary billboard faces on Lawrenceville Highway in exchange for swapping four stationary faces for electronic displays; the council plans to vote on the proposal at a future session.
Lilburn councilmembers were told that OutFront Media proposed removing 10 stationary billboard faces on Lawrenceville Highway near Bryson Meadows in exchange for permission to swap four other stationary faces for electronic displays. The council did not vote but indicated the proposal will be placed on a future session agenda for a formal vote.
Jenny, identified in the transcript only by first name, told councilmembers she approached OutFront Media about relocating or removing billboards after several accidents where vehicles ran off Lawrenceville Highway and into the Bryson Meadows townhomes. According to the transcript, OutFront Media offered removal of 10 stationary faces in exchange for the city allowing the company to convert four existing stationary faces to electronic faces.
Councilmembers said they will vote on the proposal at the next session. The transcript does not record a policy decision, the exact locations of the four faces proposed for electronic conversion, or any conditions the city would seek in exchange for approval. The transcript also does not specify whether the conversions would require permits, variances, or state approval.
The council did not record a formal motion or vote during the July 1 work session on the OutFront Media proposal.
