Current Projects

The A2 DDA is continually underway with a wide variety of projects and programs to address current needs and work toward improving downtown.

Projects in 2010/11 include the following:

  • Grants for alternative transportation programs such as improved transit service, bike amenities, and go!passes for downtown employees
  • Construction of the South Fifth Avenue underground parking structure and application of additional elements to enhance safety, pedestrian linkages, traffic flow, and flexibility of the site.
  • Implementation of the Fifth and Division Improvement Project to make these "complete streets" that accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists
  • Distribution of Downtown Energy Saving Grants to enable businesses access to free energy audits
  • Benchmarking downtown activity and vitality
  • Continued implementation of the DDA's Public Parking & Transportation Demand Management Strategies Plan
