Downtown Crossing is a
going concern which
Boston planners hope to assist ...
• Downtown Crossing captures from one third to one half of all lunchtime
trips made by central business district employees;
• average household income of visitors is between SI 5,000 and $25,000;
and
• the average number of monthly visits is 11.5.
The average expenditure per visitor is SI5., Multiplying this by the
. number of visitors yields a gross sales volume of $1 million per weekday and
$900,000 on Saturdays, compared to an estimated $157,000 per day for the
Faneuil Hall ~\arketplace.
In conclusion, Downtown Crossing is a going concern which Boston planners
hope to assist in going further. They are considering developing a plan
for extending the project boundaries in a Phase III effort, working with the
newly established Downtown Crossing Association, and responding to concerns
of independent local merchants. They also are considering publishing
a market profile of downtown workers and shoppers to attract new businesses
and help existing ones.
Finally, and most important, the planners will begin to speak the merchants'
language in dealing with downtown. Through designing the project to
respond to their needs, the city helped ensure a positive effect in terms of
sales and businesses. It is hoped that the effort started with the demonstration
funds will be carried further by the merchants themselves. •
