City Sides with Arts Groups in Billboards Vote

This Month in Biscayne Times

City of Miami commissioners voted 3-2 April 25 to ban future construction of oversized, digital billboards in the municipality. But to be clear, residents will still stumble upon these very structures during their downtown walks or drives. The vote puts the city one step closer to rescinding an ordinance passed in 2023 that allows 100-foot LED billboards spanning 1,800 square feet, which allowed the city to circumvent state-mandated size limits, but it also ends a monthslong debate at which the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Adrienne Arsht Center of the Performing Arts have been center stage.
