On November 25, 1991, Mayor Herb Drinkwater dedicated the grand opening of the downtown improvement districts for Fifth Avenue, Marshall Way, Old Scottsdale and West Main.
The Downtown Scottsdale improvement districts dedicated in these images as part of the streetscape program was funded by the City of Scottsdale and the individual property owners. These improvements include new streetlight fixtures, benches, tree-lined streets, and sections of the pavement and sidewalk replaced with textured concrete.
These images were donated by the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce.
