Billboards still hurt their eyes

A Vancouver City Councillor is trying to address the complaints he says are still coming in about the bright lights around BC Place.

It’s been more than three months since people living near the newly renovated stadium started complaining that its billboards were keeping them up at night.  
 
Geoff Meggs says that issue hasn’t gone away and Pavco’s efforts haven’t been enough.

So, he plans to table a motion next week to ask the stadium operator to bring the signs up to standard, “Go back, use the best match you can work out for what should have happened in terms of public consultation and go through a process with people, because it’s not working the way it is.”

Meggs says the city was taken by surprise when the signs were installed without consultation, as he says Crown corporations usually do.
