The plan contemplated streetscape enhancements and related public infrastructure improvements. Stakeholders included private property owners, public officials and business organizations participating in the establishment and conceptual design for 14th Street. In 2019, City Council approved the formation of the 14th Street G80 and the creation of the District Advisory Board. The district was established to acquire finance, operate and maintain street improvements. The district's creation ordinance calls for the JD to end to annually at least to at least annually pass a work plan and budget. The District Advisory Board, after a notice and hearing, recommends to the Board of directors the proposed workplan and budget, including maintenance charges and capital charges before you tonight in 2021.
