Ban alcohol billboards near schools
In Plain English
The city wants to reduce underage drinking by preventing alcohol ads from appearing on billboards close to schools. Research shows that advertising exposure increases the risk of minors starting to drink before they can make informed adult decisions. If approved, businesses cannot place alcohol billboards within a certain distance of school properties.
