THE DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT (DID) is a public improvement district created
to offer enhanced safety, maintenance, communications/events
and capital improvement projects in Downtown Dallas. DID is
managed by Dallas CBD Enterprises, Inc., a private nonprofit
corporation governed by thirty-one directors representing
the City of Dallas, owners of private real property in the
district and tenants in the district. Geographic boundaries
of DID are the freeways surrounding Downtown Dallas: Woodall
Rodgers, North Central, Julius Schepps, R.L. Thornton and
Stemmons.
THE MISSION OF DID is to make
Downtown Dallas “Clean, Safe and Fun,” a strong
competitor among places for people to work, live, visit and
invest.
DID IS FUNDED by Downtown property
owners through a special assessment paid on real property.
In June 2001 the Dallas City Council unanimously approved
a five-year renewal of the district, following overwhelming
endorsement by stakeholders. The district’s annual assessment
is approximately $3 million.
CURRENT PRIORITIES AND EFFORTS
- The Downtown Safety Patrol, a daily safety presence on
the streets of Downtown
- The Clean Team, a daytime maintenance and litter control
program
- A new Downtown pedestrian map
