Based on the types of poles that have been selected, the following axe the options for banner arm installations: One 24"x48" banner arm on one side of the pole, requiring two arms, one at the top and one at the bottom, on spring brackets is $210.00 per pole. Installing two triangular banners on opposite sides of the pole requiring two banner arms on spring brackets and eyelets at the bottom for the banners is $215.00 per pole. An option of only putting one triangular banner on each pole with the eyelet would be $135.00 each. All of these options are banner arms that are banded to the poles so additional banner arms could be installed or removed at a later date. Examples of triangular banners can be seen in downtown Anoka and rectangular ones in the City of Becker along TH 10. The Street Division sign-making equipment is capable of making the banners, depending upon the type of material used. Based on typical banners that have been made in the past
