The 2016 Downtown Master Plan + the 2022 Experience Downtown Plan Update guide the core DTA from Acacia Park south through the Sports Corridor. Key strands: housing (1,500+ new units since 2016), streetscape improvements on Cascade + Tejon (the 2023 Cascade Ave pedestrian-scale redesign is mostly complete), adaptive-reuse of older office buildings (multiple projects ongoing), and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) tax increment financing approvals. This thread tracks every significant downtown project, every DDA meeting outcome, retail + restaurant openings + closures, and the ongoing conversation about parking vs. density. Downtown residents, what's working? What isn't?
