Atlanta city councilmember Amir Farokhi has announced the launch of a citywide design contest to change the city’s confusing booting and towing signs on private parking lots.

The competition is part of a larger push Farokhi has made to move the city towards a better public realm and designs and policies that are more representative of and accessible to the people.

“Ideally, the sign will be praised for its clarity, user-friendly design, and aesthetics,” Farokhi said. “We want something that gets the point across and is legible but does so in a way that reflects our city’s welcoming and friendly nature.”
