The Lakeshore Village <strong>BIA</strong> was recently expanded and now runs along Lakeshore Blvd. from Twelfth Street<br />

to the west and Dwight Avenue to the east. In 1982 the <strong>BIA</strong> implemented a streetscape improvement<br />

plan that included the installation of decorative lamp posts, planters and over 100 trees. This<br />

infrastructure is in place today and has been paid for and maintained by the local merchants.<br />

There are over one hundred and fifty businesses in the Lakeshore Village <strong>BIA</strong> with an excellent<br />

assortment of restaurants, shops and services that cater to the local community.<br />
