Bid Projects
The BID has projects in the areas of Landscape and General Maintenance; Marketing, Promotion and PR; and Security.
The idea is to try to keep the area a bit cleaner and have some extra eyes and ears in the community to supplement but not to replace city services. There are teams of anywhere from 5 to 45 people cleaning 5 days per week and regular activities include:
Sweeping
Weed abatement
Graffiti removal
Tree and plant care
Reporting and Removing Bulky Items
Cleaning of sidewalks, gutters, alleyways and other public areas
Plus, our regular security patrols help deter criminal activity and provide intel to police to help catch and prosecute those suspected of criminal activity in our area.
Some of our BID projects have included:
Leveraging our funds to reengineer some badly degraded alleys
Received grants for awnings for store fronts
Repair or replacement of graffiti-etched Windows and application of anti-graffiti film
Power washing and sanitizing sidewalks and other problem areas
