    “Forgotten” Downtown Alley Transformed into Urban Public Space for Locals and Visitors
    Posted: Jun 28, 2019 06:14 pm Updated: Oct 18, 2023 12:28 am

    A forgotten alleyway behind the Jefferson St. Garage has received a major facelift thanks to the Downtown Improvement Board (DIB). For years, a narrow alley located between the western garage wall and the back entrances of several Palafox Street merchants has been a mostly-overlooked pass-through. The DIB hopes to change that and is revamping the alley with plants, landscaping, lighting, paint and other improvements.

    "Florida's Greatest Place" Just Keeps Getting Better—DIB Announces Latest Projects and Enhancements
    Posted: May 14, 2019 06:16 pm Updated: Oct 17, 2023 11:30 pm

    Parking dollars from City-owned lots and spaces managed by the Downtown Improvement Board are being used to launch several new projects that will make "Florida's Greatest Place" even cleaner, safer and more vibrant, DIB executive director Lissa Dees announced recently. The DIB has hired a “cleaning ambassador” team, completed the installation of LED lights atop the Jefferson St. Garage and recently begun removing worn out parking meters on downtown streets. The changes are the latest on a long list of district-wide maintenance and improvement projects funded by parking revenues collected by the DIB.
