MEDIACOM BUILDING B.C. OVERPASS
By Adnews Staff
A 20-year agreement between Toronto-based Mediacom and the New Westminster City Council will see a cyclist and pedestrian overpass constructed at 7th Avenue and McBride Blvd. New Westminster is a suburb of Vancouver. The overpass will connect a new residential development to a middle school. Under the terms of the agreement, Mediacom will fund the construction of the overpass along with seven "trivision" poster panels. Four of these outdoor advertising panels will be located at the overpass itself, while the remaining three will be free-standing units located in the surrounding area. The city will have the use of one panel for public announcements and community events. The overpass will also carry a banner panel for use by non-profit community groups. Construction is expected to be complete by the fall. Mediacom won the job over Pattison Outdoor Group of Vancouver.
