Highway 92 billboards begin to come down

The county’s enforcement of its billboard ordinances on Highway 92 outside of Half Moon Bay has begun to show some effects.

The sign on the Berta property promoting Rogue Chefs, and the sign on Cozzolino’s promoting Spyglass have been removed. The enforcement also targeted one more community-oriented billboard. The Coastal Repertory Theatre sign on Highway 92 was removed after the property owner was notified. The huge sign added over the Presidents’ Day Weekend, which prompted our original call to the County, has been painted over.

According to Jim Eggemeyer, Interim Planning Adminstrator at the San Mateo County Planning Department, three or four other property owners have been been mailed notification that the signs on their property are in violation, but the county has not yet received the receipts from the postal service.
