Downtown San Diego Partnership

Formed in 2010, the Downtown Partnership clean & safe program works hard to keep Downtown looking its best through enhanced maintenance, safety, unhoused care, and beautification services on behalf of those who live, work, and play within the 275 blocks that make up the pbid. Residents, businesses, and property owners can have confidence in Downtown because of the best practices, continuous improvement, and recognized excellence that the clean & safe team brings to the responsibility of serving Downtown's urban neighborhoods. Funded by Downtown property owners, the clean & safe services provided within the neighborhoods of city center, columbia, cortez hill, east village, gaslamp quarter, and marina are above and beyond those otherwise available through any existing government entity.

Through its membership and events department, the dsdp provides connections, resources, and support at varying levels depending on members' needs. Members of the dsdp include community leaders, regional decision-makers, business leaders, industry professionals, Downtown advocates, and engaged residents who are all committed to the economic prosperity and cultural vitality of San Diego's urban center. The dsdp provides a full calendar of public and exclusive events for its nearly 300 members focused on professional development, networking, and connections.

The city center bid represents the 53 blocks of businesses that make up Downtown San Diego's city center neighborhood. The city center bid provides the resources necessary to improve the quality of life, create a vibrant destination for shopping, dining, nightlife and tourism, and promote everything the bid has to offer potential visitors and residents. To support its activities the city center bid receives funding from both business assessments and parking district funds. Parking district funds are used for wayfinding and mobility improvements within the district.
