Westside Neighborhood Banners - They're All Up!
Following April’s installation of 8 initial banners throughout the Westside and the outpouring of support, 7 additional banners were installed across the neighborhood in early July.
Thank you to all of our Westside Banner sponsors:
Luis Cancho-Diez Schreiber
Commissioner Chris Caputo
Julie Carson/Robin Gross
José Cedeño
Michael DiGuiseppe/Jack Herrmann
Larry Farver/Daniel Vacca
John Foulk
William Hayden/Ron Perkov
Emily McCrater
Mark McKenzie
Evan Smith
Stegar Thompson
We have created a map (see below) that shows the locations of all of the banners. We placed the banners at high traffic intersections where residents and visitors typically come in, out, or through the Westside. We also ensured that banners would be placed on other Westside residential streets and at neighborhood entrances with less traffic volume to show our neighborhood pride!
A few of the installed banners remain unsponsored. If you are interested in sponsoring to help offset the cost of materials and installation, please send an email to wawm.org@gmail.com or reach out to any Board member who will gladly assist.
