Downtown Bend Business Association Celebrates Downtown Beautification

8/12/2019

0 Comments

 
The Downtown Bend Business Association (DBBA) is a small nonprofit dedicated to increasing the vitality of Downtown Bend.
 
In addition to our other services, we are the 100% responsible for the cleanliness and beautification of  the Downtown Bend economic improvement district (EID).
Picture
Our scope of work includes, but is not limited to:
  • Funding, delivery, installation, maintenance, and daily watering of 100 flower baskets and 50 planters May-Sept annually including active communication with our community partners at Landsystems Nursery.
  • Management, including active communication and project maintenance, with all of the Downtown Bend waste management vendors, including our community partners at Bend Garbage, Cascade Disposal, and SeQuential.
  • Active communication with all building owners within the Downtown Bend EID to assure clean, uniform and safe building and sidewalk maintenance.
  • Funding and staffing for Snow Removal – 42″ wide clear path of Downtown sidewalks and crosswalks for employees, visitors and customers to get around safely.  We also ensure that all ADA parking spaces and access points are cleared, and provide shop owners with supplies to borrow (snow shovels) so that they can clear their ‘front porches’.

Picture
  • Funding and staffing for daily sidewalk cleaning, sweeping, and debris removal.  We have recently (in the last 2 years) increased this program from 5 days per week to 7 days per week to better serve our Downtown businesses.  We were able to do this on the same budget by cutting costs in other areas.  We are committed to making sure Downtown looks its best.
  • Active communication and partnership with the City of Bend on Downtown beautification needs & solutions.
  • Volunteer  recruitment to provide Downtown with invested community members to help keep our streets clean, including working with Bend LaPine School District and Deschutes Court.   We also organize events & provide supplies for Community cleanup days
  • Funding, staffing and procuring decorations to create the Downtown Bend Holiday experience. We host events such as the Community Tree Lighting, Shop Small Saturday, and free visits with Santa.  We also provide, install and maintain tree lights, decorations, snowflakes, and wreaths.
  • Facilitating, funding and staffing the year-around Downtown Bend Banner Program, including sales, billing, installation, and maintenance for the 100 banner poles in Downtown Bend
  • Maintaining and reconditioning benches, trash receptacles, and bike racks as needed.

Picture
  • Raising funds for additional Downtown Bend beautifications, like our recent success in raising money to restore the Downtown kiosk directories to their original state.   
  • High-pressure sidewalk cleaning throughout the entire EID multiple times during the summer months to deep clean the Downtown Bend sidewalks
  • Advocacy and assistance to bring to fruition community projects like the Franklin underpass mural, the Bend Bakery building mural, or the Lava Rd. staircase reconditioning.
  • Active communication with Deschutes County Health Services to engage the community on the use of cigarettes, alcohol, and vaping in Downtown Bend
  • Partnership with local businesses to revitalize Downtown Bend pocket parks, such as the partnership with Oregrown to revitalize the park on the corner of Bond and Wall.

We would like to extend a huge “Thank you!” to our staff, board, volunteers, donors and community partners for helping us keep Downtown Bend beautiful!  By being committed to positive communication, community support, and a shared love for Downtown Bend, we can continue to keep our Downtown vibrant and thriving!
 
We are excited about several new Downtown Bend beautification projects we have coming up, stay posted to learn about all the great stuff that we have in store for Downtown Bend!
