The request includes:
• 59 banners along Massachusetts Avenue, from Memorial Drive to Sidney Street. The banners will be
30" × 60" in size.
All banners will be double sided so that they will look the same from both sides. Enclosed are the designs.

Thank you very much for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
