Public Space Management Programs
Our Public Space Management (PSM) Program works with residents, organizations, and businesses to enhance neighborhoods, strengthen communities, enliven public spaces, and promote economic vitality.
Our team consists of permit reviewers, inspectors, and program and policy specialists who collaborate to steward vibrant public spaces. We strive to encourage social activity, help local businesses thrive, and create safer, more attractive streets, all of which are essential to our city's livability.
