Billboard settlement

Was wondering what the thoughts of posters was toward the recent billboard settlement

Hadn't heard about it, here's a couple links:
From the Daily Record: http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?Story_id=544196
From the Business Journal: http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/blog/morning-edition/2014/10/settlement-means-digital-billboards-can-stay-in.html

I think keeping currently billboard-free highways billboard free is a victory.  Wish there was a larger ratio of how many non-digital boards must come down in exchange for a new digital one.

Now, let's hope City Council doesn't screw it up.

Glad to see the digital board in St Nick is coming down.  That thing is ridiculous.

Is there a link available to the new rules?
