Install Columns on Qty sidewalk to Support Bangor Opera House Marquee
Responsible Department: Legal
The Penobscot Theatre is renovating the Bangor Opera House and intends to install a marquee
overhanging the entrance supported "a plllarsor columns. Historically,
the
Opera House had a pair of columns supporting Its marquee. Several decades ago, a change was
made to a marquee with no such supports, but it was discovered during the current renovations
that the strain of supporting the marquee without columns damaged the building.
These columns require an easement from the Qty since they would stand on the City sidewalk in
front of the Opera House. The easement would require the owner to assume liability for
damage caused by CM snow removal and maintenance.
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recommends approval.
