Culver City Council in Los Angeles County, California is scheduled to vote on a zoning code change that would allow digital kiosks in public spaces, including advertising, according to a Culver City Crossroads report. This marks a shift from the city's previous policy which banned billboards in the downtown area since the 1990s.

While the proposal emphasizes the kiosks' role in "wayfinding" (helping people navigate the area), critics suggest the primary purpose is advertising revenue. The agenda also includes a request for proposals from interested vendors, with the kiosks potentially installed before the summer concert series ends.
