BART Board Hears Billboards Question at Committee
Mid track billboards disrupted BART discussions as the public information and legislation committee moved the billboard issue back to the full board for possible action next Thursday. Staff recommended side platform displays on the A Line or at least five stations with signs to gauge public reaction, with Langé saying one billboard may suffice. A prototype sign stands at Fruitvale Station in Oakland. A quorum was not reached to vote, and staff estimates mid track signs could yield 30000 yearly revenue.
