The city of Miami may reverse its decision to expand its outdoor advertising sites, reducing the number of sites back down to three, per a 2015 law, according to a recent article in Miami Today. These three locations would be the James L. Knight Center, the Olympia Theater/Gusman Center for the Performing Arts and the Miami Children’s Museum.

Before the reversal was proposed, the city believed the advertisements would generate enough revenue to maintain and improve government-owned properties in the city. It would also ban advertising on Department of Off Street Parking facilities and Digital Free Standing Sign Sites.

If approved, the reversal would need to pass a second reading in order to become official.
