Some people who received this message don't often get email froml Learn why this is important I am very much opposed to the eyesore of electronic billboards in my community. Not only will it degrade the scene of the city, but they are distracting to drivers along the highway. They also add additional light pollution which interferes with the migration and movement of hundreds of species of birds and other animals. Please deny any requests to establish electronic billboards in San Jose.
I live and vote in District 3.
Thank you

You don't often get email from Learn why this is important Hello All,
As someone who suffers from Trigeminal Neuralgia, an incredibly painful, progressive, uncontrollable nerve condition tied to the nerve in my eye, I couldn't be more opposed to Digital Billboards. I have had two brain surgeries, take multiple medications daily and from moment to moment have no idea how much pain I will be in or if it will spike from a 2-10 in a split second. However, I do know things to avoid that make it worse every time.
Sonic Runway—at night, I just see this as a seizure spiral or a seizure waiting to happen. I am on anti-seizure medication and I do everything I can to avoid driving by this at night because it is so disorienting for me. 24th(?)/Santa Clara-there is a digital sign above a jewelers that is blinding to me at night. I wish it were just blinding, but it's not, it sets off intense pain, as if my right eye is being skewered with shish kabob skewers. I have had to pull over serveral times because I am blind and in so much pain that I shouldn't continue driving. I believe this is the same corner that also has a large, moving "light bright" type sign over a restaurant. Now going in either direction of Santa Clara is a hazard for me.
These are smaller, but real world examples of what a hazard downtown San Jose has already become for me. I am certain there are other people with maladies covered under the ADA that are finding downtown just as hard, or harder, to navigate as I am. Please don't make it harder by approving digital billboards. Disabled people need to be welcome in downtown, day and night, just as much as able bodied people.
Regards,
Shaunn Cartwright
