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 2009/10 include the following:

  • Grants for alternative transportation programs such as commuter rail, the downtown Link circulator, Zipcar, 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
  • Installation of 25 on-street, solar-powered parking pay stations
