Downtown Enhancement District

What is it?

The Downtown Enhancement District is a special benefit district consisting of two service zones surrounding Main Street. Within these zones, an enhanced level of service is provided by the City to address the unique needs of the city's central core. These services go beyond the basic services usually provided and include frequent maintenance, landscaping, litter removal, bench repair, graffiti removal, seasonal banners, and holiday decorations. 
The services are automatically provided to properties located within the Downtown Enhancement District. 

Street Utility Infrastructure Analysis

Tenants of the Public Right-of-Way (“ROW”) are responsible for properly maintaining their infrastructure. 

Tenants of the ROW are responsible for properly maintaining their infrastructure at a level that meets the appropriate structural standard. The City has adopted the Policy for Utility Appurtenances within the Public Right-of-Way, which requires all entities with infrastructure facilities in the ROW to perform a field survey of those facilities in order to minimize deficiencies and the capital costs associated with prematurely reconstructing roadways.
