The recent approval of a billboard ban in the City of Los Angeles is not something that grew overnight, rather it was a 30 year battle waged in every hallowed corridor of City Hall. Over that time Cindy Miscikowski watched as different versions of the ban fell to defeat because of the billboard industry's strength within the city. The Planning Report interviews the L.A. Councilmember after the ordinance's passage to get her take on the importance of the ban, the factors that came together to allow its passage, and what the movement to ban billboards will mean--not just in L.A.--but throughout California.
