Downtown
West Avenue
West Avenue was rebuilt as a pedestrian-first street, and it's the natural starting point for most downtown visits.
The street
The redesign widened sidewalks, added seating, landscaping and lighting, and created space for events. It's at its liveliest on evenings, weekends and game days.
Businesses
We list West Avenue businesses in the local directory only after confirming each is open and checking its official website. If you own a business here, you can submit it for review.
Before you go
- Check business hours directly — they vary by day.
- On game nights expect more people and tighter parking.
- Confirm any social-district rules with the city.
