The Chicago Bears owns a billboard at Route 53 and Northwest Highway in Arlington Heights, pictured May 2024. Village leaders are expected to decide in June if the electronic sign will have to come down. A Chicago Bears electronic billboard on Route 53 could be among the giant advertisements at risk of coming down next month if the Arlington Heights Village Board moves forward with plans to eliminate all billboards in the northwest suburb.
Mayor Tom Hayes said at the May 6 Village Board meeting that the Bears’ electronic billboard is unique and unlike the billboards on Rand Road the board wants removed. According to Hayes, “They’re both billboards but this one is so different for me. We have to look at these on a case-by-case basis.” But the Village Board voted then to allow the electronic billboard to remain – even going beyond the stipulation that it come down if the racetrack ceased operation. Village staff learned in early 2022 that Churchill Downs staff remained at the horse racing venue to maintain the property and keep it secure, pending the sale of the facility.
“It is something we would look at in the context of that development,” Recklaus said, reminding trustees that the current approval for the electronic billboard expires June 30 and the Village Board has the opportunity to renew it. The billboards at 315 W. Rand Road, near where the town houses would be built, are within a commercial corridor the village is planning to improve.
