About

The Downtown Honolulu Business Improvement District is a community-led effort to make the heart of our city cleaner, safer, and more vibrant. Funded by local property owners, with no cost to residents, the BID supplements city services with sidewalk cleaning, graffiti removal, and added security presence. Focused on public areas like Fort Street Mall, it supports small businesses, enhances public spaces, and helps create a welcoming environment for everyone who lives, works, and visits Downtown Honolulu.
