The combined Services and Maintenance Committee and Urban Planning Committee meeting serves as a key touchpoint to ensure that Midtown remains clean, safe, and well-maintained for residents, stakeholders, businesses, and visitors. It brings together two core functions of the Midtown Management District-daily operational upkeep and long-term planning.
Services + Maintenance
This portion of the meeting focuses on maintaining and improving the district’s appearance, safety, and functionality. Staff and committee members review ongoing services such as landscaping and tree care, trash collection, graffiti abatement, lighting issues, sidewalk and street repairs, and general cleanliness. The committee tracks project progress, evaluates service requests, and advises on budget allocations to ensure Midtown remains clean, safe, and well maintained.
Urban Planning
The Urban Planning portion centers on long-range improvements and strategic development initiatives. Discussions typically include infrastructure planning, pedestrian and mobility enhancements, district-wide planning studies, beautification projects, park and open-space improvements, and coordination with the city partners and consultants. The committee provides guidance on upcoming capital projects, reviews design concepts, and ensures that new initiatives align with Midtown’s long term vision.
Together, these committees work to maintain the district’s day-to-day operations while guiding thoughtful planning and improvements that enhance the quality of life for residents, businesses, and visitors.
