Arsenal Bridge Detour
Read this great article in the QC-Times explaining special detour routes for the Arsenal Bridge that will be posted during construction. During peak times, only one-way traffic directly to and from the island is allowed. Don't forget the Centennial is competely open, so there's always a quick way to the other side of the river for the general public.

3/50 Project: Support Local Downtown Business
The 3/50 Project encourages consumers to think about three locally-owned small businesses they couldn't imagine living without and spend $50 each month at those businesses.

Downtown Davenport is filled with outstanding locally owned independent businesses that need your support this Holiday season. This is what makes downtown so special! We're filled with one-of-a-kind businesses run by real people that live right here in town.

For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Did we mention the fact that our downtown shops also have great gifts you can't find anywhere else?

Clearing Parking & Sidewalks
Downtown business owners are encouraged to shovel/blow snow off sidewalks out into the parking lanes. If snowfall remains heavy, parking lanes will be plowed by the City to ensure both sidewalks and on-street parking spaces can be fully utilized

Downtown Partnership Clean & Safe team is working to keep our intersections clear and easy to walk across after any significant snow fall. If your intersection has not been cleared, please be patient. It's a big downtown, and we'll be there soon.

Walk Your Butt to the Can
You might notice a few new signs throughout the downtown encouraging you to "Walk Your Butt To The Can!" These posters are part of a program designed to remind people to place cigarette butts in to their proper receptacle, rather than toss them on the ground.

The Downtown Partnership is proud to partner with iLiveHere and the City's Public Works Department to help reduce litter and water pollution in our downtown.

Please join our effort and use a "smoker's post" or ash-tray whenever you can while downtown!

I Love Downtown Davenport!
