2017 Annual ReportMpls Downtown Improvement District & Vibrant and Safe Downtown

MplsDID.com Facebook: @MplsDID Twitter @MplsDID Instagram @MplsDID

We had an incredible year in downtown Minneapolis! As our

city’s core continues to thrive, so too does the work the Mpls

Downtown Improvement District performs to provide a greener,

cleaner, safer and vibrant community.

Looking back on 2017, we see great progress. We celebrated the

“Substantially Spectacular” completion of Nicollet in November,

concluding a multi-year downtown project that is already paying

dividends for our community as a gathering place for those who

live, work, play and explore in our city. DID also experimented

with new ways to program Nicollet as several pilot projects

demonstrated how we can best keep this vital corridor full of

activity in the years to come.

But that’s just the beginning. The DID Livability Team continued

to grow, and DID’s new incident management system helped us

accurately track outreach trends. We engaged a residential task

force, as part of our strategic plan, to help better connect with

those living in the District’s boundaries. Our DID Ambassadors

continued to not only assist the public and provide greening and

cleaning services, but they also were part of enhanced safety

initiatives like the rush hour-based Commuter Block Post on

Hennepin Avenue. And DID also worked to better communicate

with our stakeholders, not only through launching a quarterly

newsletter but also undergoing a branding exercise to better

highlight the DID and Vibrant and Safe Downtown—formerly

Minneapolis SafeZone Collaborative—to help with our mission.

But there is more work to be done. In 2018, we look forward to

our role on the new Nicollet—which includes Ambassadors’

green, clean and safe initiatives, our DID Livability Team’s

presence, overseeing lighting and adding new programming and

activations. We will continue to work with our law enforcement,

public officials and downtown businesses to enhance safety in our

city’s core and help people feel safer in our community. And with

future construction projects like Hennepin Avenue coming in the

next few years, we’ll be at the table discussing how these projects

can be executed well and leave us with incredible public realm

space along these corridors.

We are excited about the work done over the past year and what

lies ahead in 2018. We appreciate your continued efforts and

commitments in creating an extraordinary downtown.

Respectfully yours,

Dear Downtown Stakeholder

Vibrant & Safe DowntownThe DID has a wholly-controlled

501c3 whose mission is “to bring

the public and private sectors

together by collaborative safety,

greening and other initiatives

and projects that enhance

downtown and improve the safety of the area, making the

heart of downtown Minneapolis safe and welcoming for

those who work, live or play downtown.”

In 2017, this organization, formerly known as Minneapolis

SafeZone Collaborative, was renamed Vibrant and Safe

Downtown to communicate our more comprehensive

mission.

In addition, the SafeZone Advisory Committee—which is

made up of public and private leaders—was renamed the

Downtown Safety Collaborative. This group reviews and

discusses safety concerns, strategies and tactics to make

downtown more safe and vibrant.

Working TogetherThe DID again worked closely with law enforcement, city

officials, the business community and street outreach

organizations to help provide enhanced safety initiatives

in 2017. One of those programs, the Commuter Block Post,

offered added law enforcement and DID Ambassador

presence along Hennepin Avenue from 5th to 10th Streets

during peak commuter times—weekdays from 6:30-9:30

am and 3-6 pm.

DID Livability Team & Outreach TrackingThe DID Livability Team conducts proactive street-level

outreach in the District to promote a healthy and safe

downtown for everyone. They respond to calls regarding

livability and public safety concerns, and determine the

appropriate intervention. Their work helps our downtown

community with public health and overall safety concerns.

Coupled with the new 24/7 incident management system

implemented in 2017, the DID Livability Team is able to

accurately track and manage how they interact with the

community. In 2017, the DID Livability Team logged a total

of 5,634 interactions within the District while providing

350 social service referrals and 296 hospitality resources.

The new Nicollet wrapped up construction in November 2017 with a “Substantially Spectacular” celebration. Nicollet’s

new look includes an upgraded pedestrian experience, a remarkable collection of public art, more than 240 new trees,

added plants and landscaping, and more. DID operates the new lighting system on Nicollet, including more than

1,500 energy efficient LED lights. The system’s color-programmable features include 12 blocks of street light tops, as

well as the Nicollet Lanterns and Light Walk between 6th and 8th streets. These features can be customized to add color

and interest during special events and throughout the year.

During the Nicollet Project, DID communicated with stakeholders directly and participated in weekly Nicollet

construction meetings. With construction now wrapped up, DID has resumed normal greening, cleaning and safety

operations on Nicollet.

“ I work in the IDS Center & the newly

remodeled Nicollet Mall area, that I see

every day, is beautiful! I love the LED

Color Changing Lights on 7th. I can't

wait to see it in the summer & enjoy

spending time outside with all the new

trees & greenery.”

– Downtown Employee

ActivationWith Nicollet complete, the DID is focusing on

programming to provide more vibrancy for our

city’s core. In 2017, DID spoke to Nicollet workers,

residents and visitors about what kinds of activities

they would like to see on the street. DID developed

and tested these activities with partners and

stakeholders as the construction wound down in

the summer and fall. Building on these efforts, DID

will continue to attract, amplify, incubate and create

activities in 2018 and beyond.

2017 Programming• Nicollet Makers Market: Local, handmade, craft goods

for sale outside on Nicollet beginning in July

• 2 | 4 Tuesdays: A collaborative effort with Nicollet restaurants offering uniform happy hour times along with games, music and fitness along Nicollet’s public realm

• Street Show: Street performance collaborations offering local musicians performing during lunches, happy hours and special events

• Winter Open Streets: The first Winter Open Streets in December welcomed people to explore Nicollet from 5th to Grant Street

• Theater in the Round outside Minneapolis Central Library

• Nicollet Reading Room outside YWCA Downtown Minneapolis

• The second largest collection of public art in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has been in the middle of a building boom over the last few years. The Big Build, launched by DID

in partnership with mpls downtown council and Meet Minneapolis, highlights over $2 billion worth of investment in

downtown, including the renovation of Target Center, Washington Avenue, large residential and commercial buildings

and the redesign of Nicollet. DID led efforts to create directional and project update presentations and signage, and it

unveiled a new creative messaging campaign developed by Gabriel deGrood Bendt (GdB) to highlight some of the features

of the new Nicollet. It started with a nod toward the ongoing construction and tongue-in-cheek slogans alluding to the

community’s “patience” for the project. The Mary Tyler Moore statue edition offers the message, “We’re going to make it

after all.” Other versions highlight features of the new Nicollet, including lighting, seating and public art.

To celebrate the planting of the first trees in June, the DID team handed out 300 birch and serviceberry seedlings on

Nicollet donated by Bailey Nurseries. “We’re not out of the woods yet, we still have 244 trees to put in,” was the

coordinated campaign message.

“ Mpls has done an excellent job in becoming an attractive place to live as well as to

work. It is much more vibrant area than it was several years ago. Well done."

Tactical Urbanism is a Mpls Downtown Improvement

District program that works to help improve real and

perceived safety throughout downtown by enhancing

areas through low-cost environmental changes. Tactical

Urbanism is built around the idea that experiences people

have in downtown public spaces—and how safe they feel—

are shaped by how they are designed and programmed.

In 2017, one of DID’s key Tactical Urbanism Initiatives was

Street Show, which brought talented local musicians and

performers onto downtown sidewalks during lunches,

happy hours and special events. Look for Street Show again

in 2018.

The DID Ambassadors continue to be friendly faces

downtown. Each day, you’ll find the DID Ambassadors

providing assistance to those in need, offering

suggestions about things to do, helping with directions

and more. Ambassadors also help keep our streets

clean, water DID’s plantings downtown, and keep an

eye out for you and your surroundings.

Added in 2017The DID patroller vehicles

were added this year to help

provide DID Ambassadors with

another resource to help keep

our downtown streets greener,

cleaner, safer and more vibrant.

Ambassadors are on the street:

DID Service Levels

Dennis Clark has worked as a DID Ambassador for more

than six years. He is a true asset to the Ambassadors'

cleaning team—as an Ambassador, Dennis has led the

overnight power washing crew removing thousands

of gum spots in the Warehouse District, collected

hundreds of leaf bags and helped clear corners after

snowfalls. Dennis has been recognized as Ambassador of

the Month four times in the last four years, and in 2017,

Dennis was nominated by his peers five different times

for his outstanding commitment and teamwork. His

continuous positive attitude, dedication and hard work

earned Dennis 2017 Ambassador of the Year honors.

As downtown’s neighborhoods continue

to grow and change, the DID is changing

with it. In 2017, the DID adjusted its service

areas to better serve our community. In

addition to adjusting service areas and

simplifying the zones, the DID added

support to the East Town area to help serve

that changing neighborhood.

Congratulations,

Dennis! 2017 Ambassador of the Year

“ I think DID takes

great care of

the downtown-

cleaning,

answering

questions,

when I see their

green outfits

I feel safer.”

– Downtown Resident

The Mpls Downtown Improvement District (DID) is a business-led, 501(c)6 non-profit that leads and collaborates to create a clean, green, safe and vibrant downtown by convening, developing solutions, activating and continuously improving existing programs.

DID is primarily funded by special service assessments authorized by a City of Minneapolis ordinance. By state statute, only commer-cial properties are required to pay the DID assessments. However, as all properties benefit from an improved public realm downtown, some non-profit, government and residential properties voluntarily contribute. More than 64 million square feet of Gross Building Area (GBA) are located within the DID's 120 block boundaries. Properties are assessed for directly lineal services based on lineal frontage and for more globally benefitting services based on GBA. Charges are prorated to properties based on location within pedestrian service level areas. This three-part method best reflects the volume of people needing service and the level of services delivered.

Vibrant and Safe Downtown, formerly Minneapolis SafeZone Collaborative, is an organization that brings the public and private sectors together to make the heart of downtown safe and welcom-ing for those who live, work, and visit here. In December 2004, the downtown business community approached city leadership to ask for efforts to increase downtown safety. As a result, Vibrant and Safe Downtown was formed by the Minneapolis Police Department. In July 2009, Vibrant and Safe Downtown became a subsidiary of the DID. The organization focuses on public safety through leveraging collaborative partnerships, technology, communication resources and strategic initiatives.

The Board of Directors is comprised of downtown property owners, employers, residents and leaders representing key constituencies and areas of expertise. The boards of the DID and the mpls down-town council allow for the same individuals to serve on the boards of both organizations, establishing the DID as a wholly-controlled subsidiary of mdc. DID staff oversee vendors, develop programs, advocate for the public realm, communicate with stakeholders and administer the organization.

DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS

During 2017, the DID worked with the Minnesota Super

Bowl Host Committee and other downtown partners to

help ensure downtown Minneapolis was ready to show

off the Bold North.

Specifically, we created Bold North visitor signage and

wayfinding connections between the street and skyway

levels. We also updated the DID downtown Minneapolis

Map and Guide. In addition, Ambassadors had extended

hours and additional cleaning crews were deployed.

DID was also extensively involved with safety efforts

leading up to the Super Bowl with our Director of Safety

Initiatives, Shane Zahn, partnering with local and state law

enforcement, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and

the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee to ensure an

integrated safety effort.

The learnings from this event will help DID plan its

involvement in long-scale downtown events.
