Downtown Alleys

In 1981, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA)'s Plan of Development identified one of the organization’s many purposes as improving the visual attractiveness of the alley system by integrating new surfacing, landscaping, and lighting systems to enhance pedestrian safety and connectivity. Since 2006, the DDA has led design and construction efforts to reimagine and transform these alleys into vibrant, active public spaces that contribute to a more walkable and dynamic urban core experience.
