CBS Outdoor has withdrawn it current proposal for a billboard at 849 NW 41 St. The Unsafe Structures Board has given the owner 30 days to remove the damaged billboard, that means by July 2, it should be gone, if they remove it. If they don't, the City has the power to remove it and lien the property for the expense.
We are still watching this issue as we do not see the need for any LED billboards in Oakland Park, and would oppose them wherever they were proposed. We noticed the billboard at Prospect and Powerline now advertises a Day Care center instead of beer or Vodka. A little PR from CBS? We'll have to watch and see where they surface next.
