AGOURA HILLS : Bill Would Regulate Signs Near Freeway
State Assemblyman Terry B. Friedman (D-Brentwood) has introduced a bill to allow small signs to be erected along the Ventura Freeway in an effort to get rid of larger business signs that now tower over the thoroughfare in Agoura Hills.
Merchants and city officials have been at loggerheads over a 1985 ordinance that requires all of the pole-mounted signs to come down.
The shopkeepers claim that if their signs come down, so will their sales. City officials say the signs are an eyesore.
Friedman’s bill would allow small signs displaying the symbols and names of various businesses to be erected along the freeway. According to Friedman, the new logo signs would eliminate the need for the tall signs clustered near Agoura and Kanan roads.
