Billboard
Moratorium
Makes Sense
The move by the Nevada County Planning
Commission last week requesting a
moratorium on new billboard construction
along the county's highways should be
applauded throughout the community.
The moratorium, it must be understood,
would not represent either approval or disapproval of billboards. It would simply
provide an opportunity for the commission
to study the question of billboards in relation tothe county's overall plans for the
future.
At the same time, a moratoriumwould
leave a decision on billboards up to the
people, acting through their elected and
appointed representatives. If the county
were to continue to allow uncontrolled
construction of billboards, sucha decision
would be impossible. The billboards would
already be there, and there would be little
that couldbe done tochange the situation.
We happen to believe that few if any
people want tosee "billboardslums" along
Nevada County's scenic roads. But the
proliferation of. billboards along highway
40, as well as on the outskirts of Grass
Valley, points to such a future for our
roads.
The proposed moratorium will give all
of us a chance to stop, take stock, and
make our opinions known to the planning
commission and the supervisors, before
this dismal future is a reality.
