Civic/Core

Central government, financial and corporate institutions are concentrated in the Civic/Core District, which extends from A/Ash streets to Broadway and Union Street to Eighth Avenue. Restoration and revitalization of many of the historic buildings are adding new residential, retail and commercial opportunities in the heart of downtown. City Hall is here and the historic Copley Symphony Hall and San Diego Civic Theatre integrate arts and culture in this neighborhood. The trolley runs along C Street, a major east–west artery. Plans to improve this important travel corridor are underway. In the near term, this include safety and landscape improvements; in the future, projected plans address the entire public realm of the corridor and its function as a link to essential City services.
