Scheduling - How It Works:

Scheduling installation of banners is on a first-come, first-served basis. Public Works staff schedule the banner for the requested time, provided there has not been prior submission of written application for the same date.
  • If prior application has been made, staff will notify the new applicant of the prior approval. You will be contacted within 30 days of the receipt of your request.
  • Reservations of banners for the next calendar year will open to the public on March 1 (e.g. open March 1, 2010 for 2011 reservations).
