I want to make the public aware that on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 6pm, the Gilroy Planning Commission will be considering whether to modify our sign ordinance to permit digital electronic billboards.
Although the staff report says that the 80-foot high, 30-by-22.5-foot LED billboard where the graphics change every eight seconds will not have a significant effect on our city, I disagree! I want Gilroy to be a peaceful, rural community away from the garish lights of urban development.
If you agree, please send an email to pl**************@ci**********.org and attend the meeting to speak against this proposal.

I would prefer not to see an electronic billboard.
