Who we serve

Downtown and Civic Districts

District environments are evaluated at walking pace by people who did not choose to be there. Tree pits, planters, kerb lines and joint weeds register immediately, and a missed week is visible to every visitor and every merchant on the block.

The pressure

What tends to go wrong.

  • 01

    Fragmented responsibility between the district, property owners and the municipality

  • 02

    Highly visible detail work that general grounds routines miss

  • 03

    Event schedules that require the district to be presentable on a fixed date

  • 04

    Limited ability to demonstrate to stakeholders what was actually done

The response

How we work against it.

  • 01

    Block-level zone mapping with explicit responsibility boundaries

  • 02

    An inspection route run block by block rather than property by property

  • 03

    Event preparation and post-event recovery scheduled against the district calendar

  • 04

    Condition reporting a district can put in front of its board
