City of Coos Bay release – New Flag poles – The City has installed eight (8) new flag poles at the Boardwalk. In 1994, sixteen fiberglass flag poles were installed with the original construction of the Boardwalk. These poles are beyond their useful life, with some of them being removed due to safety concerns. The final eight were recently replaced by city staff with 25-foot-tall aluminum poles that will stand for many years to come. Staff will continue with the installation by completing some lighting that will illuminate the flags at night. Please enjoy all the recent upgrades to the Boardwalk when visiting the area. Please use caution if workers are on site. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Greg Hamblet, Operations Administrator, at 541-269-1181, ext. 2201.
