Council members
want to get rid of
bus shelter ads
City Council wants its lawyers to re
view agreements over advertising on
MARTA bus shelters since some mem
bers want to get rid of the ads.
“All these shelters have been upgraded
after our sign ordinance [was approved],
and therefore, they need to be pulled,”
Councilman John Heneghan said. “I’m
against this. I want to fight this. I believe
they’re in violation of our sign ordinance
and should be pulled out.”

CBS Outdoor contracts with MAR
TA to advertize on system bus shelters,
Lenny Felgin, a city attorney, told coun
cil members. MARTA shares revenue
with communities where the shelters
are placed, Felgin said, and Dunwoody’s
share is about $28,000 a year. There are
a dozen shelters in Dunwoody that bear
advertising, he said.
But some council members seemed
to think the advertising didn’t fit in on
Dunwoody’s streets. “What I’m hearing
is we really don’t want the ads. We want
the shelters,” Councilman Denny Short-
al said.
Felgin said that if the council barred
the advertising, the city might have to
pay CBS Outdoor for its lost revenues
from use of the space. MARTA’s con
tract with CBS extends through 2022,
he said.
