Cellphone towers have been an issue of importance to District 5 especially, where community members organized to oppose the placement of new towers.  Councilwoman Archibong introduced 11-O-0533 in 2012 to place limits on new cell phone towers within certain parts of the District.  The legislation passed in July 2013.

Meanwhile, as for billboards, the Georgia Legislature passed HB 179 in 2011, which allows billboard owners to cut down trees within five hundred feet of a billboard.
