Letters to the Editor: Hey, Metro, no one wants more digital ads in L.A.

is a disaster in the making and has no prospect for addressing public safety or bottlenecks.

Nor do we need multiplying digital billboard images — we’re already deluged with ads on the internet, TV, radio and in print media.Metro, get your priorities straight and focus on real solutions to address traffic flow, public safety and the aesthetics of our city.Are we really going back there? We as a community have been fighting these billboards for decades. Metro has a flimsy explanation for how this is a safety measure, which it is not. It’s a bright, moving distraction for drivers.

Signing off on this idea was the first bad move that our new mayor has made. I hope the Metro board reconsiders this horrible idea, or the courts see through this ruse.The news that the city of Los Angeles is considering allowing Metro to put up billboard-sized displays that will also show ads suggests a primary reason is that this will generate up to $500 million over 20 years, or up to $25 million annually.
