The City of Bremerton maintains aerial span wires across streets in 2 locations for the purpose of supporting banners:
- 4th Street between Pacific and Washington Avenues
- Pacific Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets
Community events banners are those intended for special events and seasonal celebrations in the City of Bremerton. Banners for private or political purposes are not allowed.
Steps for Banner Approval
The following steps are necessary for hanging a banner:
- Call the Public Works Office at 360-473-5917 to coordinate the location and date(s) for which the banner is to be installed and removed.
- Acquire a no-fee building permit from the Public Works & Utilities Department at 100 Oyster Bay Ave N.
- Deliver the banner and the permit to the Public Works Complex, 100 Oyster Bay Ave N, at least one (1) week in advance of scheduled installation time. The purpose of advance delivery is to permit inspection of the banner. If the banner does not meet the city's specifications (see below), this may allow enough time for applicant to have the banner altered.
You are encouraged to have your banner inspected well in advance. Any banner that is grossly deficient will not be hung.
It is recommended that banners be constructed and prepared for hanging by a professional sign shop that regularly deals with banners. Improperly constructed banners can be hazardous and costly.
