The billboard, located on Gaffey Street at the end of the 110 Freeway, had for years rivaled the “San Pedro” monument sign that marks the entrance to the community.
Foes of Metro’s plan say the proposed digital signs — many of them 48 feet wide — will distract drivers, making the city’s streets even more perilous.
in late 2022, McOsker has sparred with the billboard’s owner, Regency Outdoor Advertising. Regency’s lease for the location expired at the end of last year, almost seven years after L.A. city officials approved purchasing the underlying lot.When the company didn’t respond to notices and letters to vacate the property, McOsker and other L.A. officials filed a lawsuit in February seeking to boot the billboard.Months later, signs of that progress are now readily visible.
McOsker said the billboard has obscured the view onto city property, especially the nearby pedestrian bridge, which he characterized as a potential safety concern.
