20-year deal for digital billboards on expressways gets city approval...It's for the children... especially the children that will be killed by distracted motorists

Just imagine the cash envelopes that were floating around with this sweetheart deal. I just wonder where the city is going to get the millions of dollars to pay out when all these injured and killed people sue the city for having these distracting billboard signs long the expressway which caused the accidents they were injured in?



The landscape around Chicago area expressways will light up with 34 digital billboards — a dozen of them adjacent to the Kennedy — thanks to a 20-year deal approved Wednesday that could generate $270 million to offset future tax increases.
By a 43-to-6 vote, the City Council signed off on Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to let bus shelter operator J.C. Decaux and its partner, Interstate Outdoor Advertising put up, 100-foot tall digital signs on city property adjacent to the Kennedy, Dan Ryan, Stevenson and Eisenhower Expressways as well as the Chicago Skyway and Illinois Tollway.
