		    Oakland looks different! As of June 1998, tobacco and alcohol billboards 
		are disappearing. And in July, the City Council voted to get rid of billboards 
		in residential zones! The Mayor's office has just mapped all the billboards 
		and figured out which billboards can be taken down. The City Manager's 
		office did the legal work. Though much still needs to happen, Oakland is 
		starting to feel better.  |  |  |  |
