Business owners have raised a couple of ideas to help improve the Garnet Avenue business district. One is to start a farmer\u2019s market during a weeknight; the other is to begin a maintenance assessment district. “I\u2019ve been pushing for a farmer\u2019s market,” said Mark Nussbaum, owner of Raw Clothing. “That\u2019s what I think would really improve things greatly and would allow the community \u2014 I\u2019m talking about the residents \u2014 to integrate more into the business district.” Nussbaum said he thinks the event should be held on a weeknight each week, maybe a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. or 5 to 8 p.m. The stores should stay open later on that night to take advantage of the extra foot traffic, he said. He also suggested the parking lots at the corner of Bayard and Garnet as a possible location for the market. A maintenance assessment district, which would help with the cleaning of the area, is an idea that has come up before, but a petition drive fell short and the idea was put on hold. “Unfortunately, we weren\u2019t able to get a maintenance assessment district established, which I really feel would be such a key component to upgrading the whole business district which is Garnet,” said Todd Brown, owner of Bub\u2019s Dive Bar and Grill. “It would take a successful petition drive,” said Andy Hanshaw, executive director of Discover Pacific Beach. “It would be worth the investment,” he added. “If we were able to have the funding to do more cleaning of all PB, cleaning and maintenance services possibly through a maintenance assessment district, that would help.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
