The Week Ahead

Start with the place, then build the experience.

Main Street Waco is becoming the dependable front door to downtown: one current guide, one verified map, and one practical way to turn a few free hours into a real visit.

Week in Review

The public map is now centered on the actual PID.

The current wayfinding foundation keeps promotional listings inside PID #1, preserves the district boundary, and organizes downtown into useful visitor-facing areas.

City Hall Watch

Downtown decisions should be understandable before they are final.

City Hall Watch tracks sourced Council agenda items involving downtown access, public space, parking, construction, PID spending, and business conditions.

Week Ahead

Use the verified map as the starting point.

Build a compact route from current PID destinations, then confirm hours and access details with each business before leaving.

Visitor Advisory

Plan around current source limits.

Approved events and merchant-maintained hours are still being populated, so verify time-sensitive details at the first-party source.

The Listening Report

The listening starts now.

Main Street Waco will ask direct questions, publish the combined results, and report what changes because people answered.
