Digital Sign Strategic Guidance
The City of Edmonton prepared a Digital Sign Strategic Guidance to provide digital signage principles and rationale for the management of digital signs by City administration, facility managers, businesses and community organizations owning digital signs, in order to:
- Achieve public and economic benefits; and
- Avoid or mitigate the undue impact of digital signage on safe mobility, human health and wellbeing, environmental protection and the attractive city image and urban design.
The Digital Signage Strategic Guidance document is intended to inform future updates to City bylaws that regulate digital signage. It also supports decision-making in situations not explicitly referenced in the bylaws.
