District Infrastructure

As The Culture + Entertainment District takes shape, we’re laying the groundwork for what’s to come—literally.

Through a series of major infrastructure upgrades, we’re building better connections between people, places and experiences across The District. From new and improved streets to stronger connections and safer crossings, this work is essential to unlocking future development and making it easier for everyone to get here—and move through here.

Why it Matters
