Banner Program

In an effort to improve the aesthetics of the community, residents of University City have come together to establish a banner district. Under the leadership of Sandy Lippe, the University City Community Association discussed ideas that would instill community pride and beautify the neighborhood. As a result, Project Love was created and a banner program was established. International City Bank has agreed to sponsor the program, and donated $10,000 for the design and installation of the community banners.

In early 2002, 40 to 50 banners will be placed on light poles on Governor Drive, Genessee Avenue and Regents Road. The organizers believe that the banners will serve as an important tool for community identification, and also plan to use them to promote area events. Banner programs have enhanced the quality of life in neighborhoods throughout the City of San Diego.
