“I’m a business owner and I would like to extend my storefront visibility by placing brightly colored benches and an A-frame sign on the sidewalk outside my store in the summer.”


︎︎︎ DOTRevocable consent permit
A Revocable Consent Permit, which allows individuals or organizations to construct and maintain certain structures(like planters or benches) on, over, or under the City’s streets and sidewalks, will be required of the business owner for the placement of benches (an A-frame sign is allowed without permit when placed within three feet of the property and if sidewalk measures at least 12 feet wide from the building to the curb). Generally, Revocable Consent Permits are granted for a term of ten years and may be renewed by the owner or tenant of the property that benefits from the structure.

NOTE: IF A BUSINESS IS LOCATED ON A “ZERO-SIDEWALK DISPLAY” STREET, A-FRAME SIGNS ARE NOT PERMITTED. CALL 311 TO ASK IF YOUR BUSINESS IS LOCATED ON A ZERO SIDEWALK DISPLAY STREET.
