YEAR IN REVIEW



Dear Friend of Downtown, This year, the Tampa Downtown Partnership celebrated 31 years of being the steward of Downtown Tampa. Each year we work diligently to foster a vibrant, diverse, 24-hour Downtown neighborhood where people come to learn, live, work, and play. To ensure that Downtown continues to grow, the Tampa Downtown Partnership’s staff, Board, and Executive Committee have been preparing new strategic initiatives with an eye toward future growth. The next two years will be significant for us in setting the stage for Tampa, but before we look at where we are heading, I invite you to celebrate a few of our accomplishments from this past year. In October, the Partnership celebrated the launch of Downtowner free ride service as a first-mile, last-mile transportation solution. This app-based service was met with an overwhelming level of success and within just seven months Downtowner picked up their 100,000th rider. Now cities across the nation are using our model and implementing similar services in their own districts. We continue to seek new ways of meeting the growing demand for this important service. The holiday season was special for the Tampa Downtown Partnership. We opened Winter Village at Curtis Hixon Park, an outdoor skating rink experience that included waterfront dining and holiday shops featuring local merchants. Skaters were able to fully enjoy Downtown’s sights and sounds with an open-air structure, generously donated by the Bucs Care Foundation. Our Downtown has become the place for residents and guests to create their holiday memories and we hope to evolve the program over the coming years. Comprised of 760 acres, Tampa’s Downtown is a vibrant and exciting urban center filled with world-class arts, culture, and performing arts venues. To celebrate Downtown’s significant cultural scene, the Partnership worked with area organizations over the past year to launch Fourth Friday, a monthly celebration of our arts and cultural venues. Each month, participating venues offer free or reduced admission and special programming. Restaurants and bars also participate, offering specials, live music and more. We are encouraged by the involvement of transportation providers, like Coast Bike Share and the TECO Line Streetcar, who offer special promotions to participants. New this year is the expansion of the event into neighboring Ybor City. These are just a few of the many projects we accomplished this year. We couldn’t do our work without the support of our Downtown stakeholders, members, Board, Executive Committee, or our partners at the City of Tampa and surrounding communities. When we all work together, we are able to create a Downtown Tampa that will continue to shine for current and future generations.

Christine M. Burdick President & CEO Tampa Downtown Partnership

Together we make downtown better.

Clean & Safe Program

TAMPA’S DOWNTOWN GUIDES PROVIDE FREE SERVICES: • • • • •

Directions Restaurant suggestions Stranded motorist assistance (flat tires, dead car battery) Downtown parking and event information And much more…

TAMPA’S DOWNTOWN GUIDES help provide a safe and inviting Downtown environment through their role as on-street ambassadors. They help deter suspicious activity as Downtown’s additional eyes and ears, and offer a friendly “concierge” type service. The Downtown Guides are unarmed public safety ambassadors, First Aid Certified, and work closely with the Tampa Police Department through the Downtown Security Network and Downtown Business Watch programs. They patrol the Special Service District (SSD) on foot and in a service vehicle. Helping to keep things “green” in Downtown, the Downtown Guides patrol in an electric vehicle called a GEM Car. This mode of transportation replaces a traditional vehicle, which costs the SSD only 70¢ per day to operate, and reduces the Downtown Guides’ carbon footprint. On-going training is an essential element to the Guides’ performance, and they receive some of the best available from organizations like Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, AAA-The Auto Club Group, Tampa Fire and Rescue, Tampa Police Department, Visit Tampa Bay, Patel Conservatory, and more. Tampa Downtown Partnership >> TampasDowntown.com

TAMPA’S DOWNTOWN CLEAN TEAM provides supplemental litter and debris removal, minor landscaping, and maintenance to the sidewalks, curbs, and other public areas located within the Downtown Special Services District, to maintain a clean and safe Downtown experience. Team members also observe and report code enforcement issues, trip hazards, streetlight outages, and other relevant concerns related to the look and safety of Downtown.

2016 BIENNIAL SURVEY KEY HIGHLIGHTS

10-YEAR REFLECTION

Every two years, the Tampa Downtown Partnership works with HCP, a thirdparty research group, to conduct a survey of Downtown’s workers, residents, and university students. Since the surveys were first compiled in 2008, their findings have helped seed initiatives in Downtown Tampa such as enhanced accessibility to the river, fitness events in the parks, new museums and attractions, improved bicycle accessibility, extended operating hours for transportation and merchants, and fullservice grocers, to name a few.

Project Spotlight >> Winter Village

Winter Village at Curtis Hixon Park, presented by USAmeriBank, celebrates the holiday season throughout Downtown Tampa from mid-November through the first week in January. This new Tampa tradition began in 2016 with a major investment from the Tampa Downtown Partnership to bring an outdoor ice rink, waterfront cafÊ and holiday shops to downtown. Expanding the experience into Downtown, a holiday window art program brought a festive experience throughout the streets and businesses. Skaters were able to fully enjoy Downtown’s sights and sounds with an open-air structure generously donated by the Bucs Care Foundation. Located along the Tampa Riverwalk, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park was transformed with activities of the holidays for children and adults of all ages.

Attendees (avg. per season): 25,000 Local Merchants/Artisans: 25 Days of Skating: 35
