Save Today!

The Planning Commission's public hearing for a council bill that would allow commercial-style digital LED signs on 7,600 neighborhood streets (including Garfield, Buchanan, and Rosa Parks in Salemtown) will be held TODAY at 4:00 at

Metro Southeast at Genesco Park
1417 Murfreesboro Road

The Planning Department is recommending disapproval to the Commission, saying that the bill fails to "adequately safeguard neighborhoods" against the commercial, big-box-style signs that have previously been prohibited in neighborhoods.

Please keep in mind that if you want to speak on this bill in public hearing, you should plan on showing up before the meeting starts and putting your name on a card to turn in to the Commission, which will recognize you during the hearing of the bill. It's a different process than Metro Council's public hearings.
