We Hope You Love Billboards

While this doesn’t immediately impact Park City (yet), this Salt Lake Tribune article about Utah Representative Mike Noel changing a Scenic Byway law is interesting. Effectively right now, billboards can’t be placed along scenic byways if the local government opposes it. This change would prevent local governments from controlling that. Therefore, land owners could put billboards where they like.

Scenic byways are official areas designated like Little Cottonwood Canyon, Scenic Highway 12, etc.

If this were implemented at a State Highway level, just imagine how pretty 224 would look!
