The Business Improvement District, or BID, is an 80-block area in the city’s core in which business and property owners pool funds through the DSP, which in turn provides the district with cleaning and safety services, event and marketing support, and other supplemental services.
The BID boundaries are along Cataldo Avenue to the north and the railroad viaduct to the south, with the eastern and western borders running along Division Street and Walnut Street, respectively.
The DSP also has a supplemental contract with the city of Spokane that has extended cleaning services south of the railroad viaduct to Third Avenue, between Walnut Street and Bernard Street. That contract is set to expire this month, according to the DSP website.
