Good questions, and you’re right about the terrain being a challenge in PA. Off the top of my head isn’t there a little town right across from the downtown where it’s up on a cliff, there’s a little ski lift or something? Maybe some rooftop signage up there? Should be far away enough from the roadway to not be regulated by DOT- the same organization that will prohibit you from advertising on bridges or over any DOT regulated right of way.

Post pics of the cliffs you’re talking about where there is/isn’t signage. Could be one is in a right of way and one isn’t.

What I would do if you’re serious about it is just write up a plan, have a good 30 second speech about what you want to accomplish, and go talk to your city/county’s “signs examiner”. And just have a conversation. Worst case you learn something. They’ll give you some ideas, but you’ll have to read between the lines. At the end of the day unfortunately your relationship with the city will be contentious, owing mostly to the fact the boomers who run the industry now pay no mind to city planning/aesthetic concerns. Differentiate yourself by being a guy that develops beautiful signage. It’s possible.
