Connect2CoMO!
Each year, over 35,000 students converge on Columbia to make this their home away from home. The Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau and The District, are organizing an effort to reach out and make all students feel welcome. It is our hope that if we begin to connect the students to what Columbia has to offer, they will know how much they are appreciated and will consider staying here after graduation.
How can you get involved? Students and parents, check out the Connect2CoMo Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Connect2CoMo/187918021272221?sk=wall for special messages and offers. If you're a business owner, you can post anything that may be of interest to college students--messages, specials, even internship or job openings!

Street Closures
The CID Board is recommending that Council table the proposed changes to the street closure ordinance in order to develop a more comprehensive process for closing streets.
The goal is to preserve the great community events that happen here in The District while also addressing some shortcomings in the current ordinance. Just an example, our application is only a page long, leaving out many key issues that organizers must address in order to safely close a street. A more comprehensive ordinance could clarify how a street can be closed and what an organizer must do in order to close it.
Council will address this issue Monday night at their regular 7:00 pm session. If Council agrees, the CID Board will begin hosting a series of public meetings to seek input on the issue.

Short Street Parking Garage
The Mayor's Parking Task Force is recommending to Council that the new garage at Short Street do two things: keep Short Street as a throughfare and add retail along Walnut Street. Both suggestions came out of a series of public comment sessions and both will help enhance the burgeoning North Village Arts District. The ultimate decision will be up to Council so voice your opinion at www.gocolumbiamo.com.
Another recommendation was to "condo out" the retail space in the parking garage, meaning a private developer would bear the costs of this space and serve as the leasing agent for it (rather than having the city take on those responsibilities). If you're interested in bidding on this project, go to: https://customer.ionwave.net/prod/VendorRegistration.aspx?vcid=16&iid=8DE44378-38D6-431C-9861-1953A3B409CA.
The bid number is 150/2011 and the title is "Short Street Garage Commercial Development." Bids close on August 25 at 5:00 pm.

Parking Perks
Just a reminder that the city is offering discounted parking permits for the 5th & Cherry garage. Instead of the usual $60 a month, permits are going for a sweet $30. If you've on the waiting list for one of the other garages, we recommend you jump on this offer right away.
Also, keep reminding your customers that parking in the garages is now free on Saturday. That's right, all day with no pay. And if you'd like a Free Saturdays poster, drop us a line at info@discoverthedistrict.com and we'll run one over for you.
