Pittsburgh District 7 City Councilman Patrick Dowd introduced legislation supporting the non-profit Lawrenceville Corporation’s effort to create a Business Improvement District (BID) in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. The Business Improvement District plan will include provisions for continued maintenance and beautification of Lawrenceville’s commercial corridors. Some highlights planned for the first year include the cleaning of the streetscape and the continuation of seasonal flower baskets along Penn Avenue and Butler Street, as well as tree pit maintenance including litter removal and weeding. evolveEA prepared this slide show illustrating the benefits and the structure of Business Improvement Districts, and how this can help Lawrenceville. The presentation is part of a package used by Lawrenceville Corporation to gather support for implementation of the BID.
