The BLQ BID provides property and business
owners with a variety of services to help boost
the economic vitality of the area. These services
not only enhance the physical infrastructure,
but also improve the social well-being of the
area and encourage community pride.
Street Maintenance—A
primary service provided by the BLQ BID is street
maintenance. The BLQ BID has contracted Chrysalis
Enterprises to perform vital cleaning services.
Services include the removal of trash and litter
from sidewalks, emptying of trash cans, sweeping
of gutters, removal of weeds and refuse from
tree wells and planters and removal of illegal
posters and signs on poles. The Chrysalis maintenance
crew also pressure wash the sidewalks and report
incidences of graffiti and illegal dumping to
City departments.
Community Banners—In
an effort to increase awareness about the BLQ
BID, 175 new and vibrant banners were throughout
the district. The lively banners depict the
BLQ BID logo—two angels flying together.
The angels symbolize the power of unity and
partnership.
Holiday Decorations—During
the holiday season, holiday banners and lights
are installed at two major intersections, Pico
and Normandie and Pico and Hoover. The colorful
banners sitting create a welcoming and festive
shopping environment in this mainly commercial
corridor.
Newsletters—A
quarterly newsletter is distributed to BLQ BID
property and business owners. The newsletters
cover an array of topics, including information
on City and community programs available to
businesses, updates on local projects, profiles
of property and business owners in the district
and information on BLQ BID activities.
