Thanks to the hard work of DCRA Director Linda Argo, the Office of the Attorney General, and all our dedicated community representatives and leaders, the four P Street billboards came down this morning. It was a beautiful sight to see.

Bates Area Civic Association 
Couldn’t be happier. Grassroots movement at its finest!
united we stand…and they fall!
wow–you guys did it! congrats to all invvolved.
Very cool! Was this the city removing them or clear channel? I notice the clear channel banner and numbers were removed before they tore them down.
Clear Channel did the removal. It sounded like they were taking the signs to Philly.
Do we know what is going to happen to the area where the billboards USED to be?
that’s the next step
the online poll (below) indicated that a community garden was desired, but in the end, it’s up to the property owners, and Clear Channel currently owns the property
