June 20, 2023 To the Honorable City Councilors of Cambridge City Council City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 Dear Council Members: I am writing to respectfully request your permission to hang banners to celebrate and promote the Inman Square commercial district, as the last part of the city's Inman Square Improvement Project Construction Mitigation efforts. The banners will be hung in the Summer 2023 and be taken down around Summer 2025. 25 The request includes adding thirty (30) 30" x 60" street pole banners to be hung on poles in the neighborhood. The banners will be double sided with the same design but different colors. The design of the banners came from the East Cambridge Business Association, in collaboration with a local graphic designer. Enclosed are the three different designs for the street pole banners and the exact street poles we propose to use, with some additional poles in the new Vellucci Plaza. A map of street poles for both this application and the Inman Square application can be found attached to the application. Thank you so much for your consideration of this request, and for the Council's support of this neighborhood's commercial district. Sincerely, Pardis Saffari Director of Economic Opportunity and Development Community Development Department City of Cambridge
