Our Services

Sidewalk Cleaning and Maintenance

Our Sidewalk Cleaning and Maintenance program focuses on keeping the district clean. The Clean Team works from 7am to 10pm 363 days per year sweeping the sidewalks, emptying trash receptacles, removing graffiti, removing snow/ice from crosswalks and generally making Broadway look its best. The Clean Team is provided through a maintenance contract between the Initiative and Streetplus.

Quality of Life and Public Safety

Our Quality of Life and Public Safety program focuses on maintaining good pedestrian flow, ensuring pedestrian safety, minimizing sidewalk congestion and working to address common quality of life issues within the SoHo Broadway improvement district. Our efforts focus on sidewalk activity such as vending, retail activity and events, and construction in the public realm. This program is lead by the Initiative's Director of Community Affairs and Operations, Dan Hogle.

Community Development

Our Community Development program seeks to create opportunities for members of the SoHo Broadway community to connect and provide opportunities and resources for community members to be a good neighbor. Through our website, e-newsletter and social media presence, the Initiative seeks to create awareness of who is here and what is going on in and around SoHo Broadway. Our Be a Good Neighbor program provides information to residents, office/retail tenants and building managers on how to be a good neighbor and overcome some of the challenges of living in and operating a business in the SoHo Broadway improvement district.

Advocacy

While the Initiative is primarily a service organization, the Initiative also advocates on behalf of the SoHo Broadway improvement district and its constituents. We may ask for more services, changes on an interpretation of a rule or law, additional resources or in some circumstances a change in law with a view of making the district better.
