I was glad to see the Friday, Reader’s Comment by “Tom” about the digital billboard at Lion Hills. The first time I was traveling east on Highway 82 past that “much too bright” digital sign at Lion Hills, I commented, “That sign does not need to be there. It is a distraction in a very dangerous place. There is a steep embankment there and that sign could easily cause someone to run off the road and get killed. A person needs to keep his/her eyes on the road and not take their eyes off the road to read that sign.” Again, the location is much too dangerous for the sign to even be there. It needs to come down.
