• Strategic SJDA objectives for 2018-2020 are to make people feel safe Downtown, minimize the impact of the homeless population, improve the Downtown brand, create a Downtown vision focused on strengthening districts and connectivity between them, and to support the BART extension to Downtown while minimizing impact to local businesses.
• The Theatre on San Pedro Square has been renamed the Tabard Theatre.
• A 87-unit, eight-story affordable housing building is being proposed for Almaden Boulevard and Balbach.
