One of the security measures that is in place for our visitors and convention attendees, specifically in Downtown and Uptown neighborhoods - are our Business Improvement District (BID) street and hospitality ambassadors.
There are 30 full-time, highly visible Ambassadors that circulate throughout the neighborhoods elevating the visitor experience by devoting extraordinary care to our public rights of way to create a cleaner, safe and most hospitable downtown for everyone to enjoy.
Community Ambassadors offer the following services:
