Banner Applications

To assist in the request to hang a banner on one or all of the City’s three available locations (see below), the City has created this information sheet to assist you with the application process.

This information sheet is for your benefit only. This sheet does not need to be submitted with the application sheet, but should prove helpful in the planning of your banner display.

  • Select the first and last days you would like the banner(s) to be hung.

The maximum length of time the banner will be allowed to be displayed is 3 weeks. The City will make every attempt to accommodate the dates requested, however, scheduling problems, weather conditions, staff scheduling and other pressures may force the Public Works Dept to amend dates as needed.

  • Select the location(s) where the banner(s) are to be hung.
