Third Avenue and Downtown Chula Vista
Third Avenue is the commercial and cultural heart of Downtown Chula Vista, with restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, retailers, professional services, public spaces and community events concentrated along a walkable corridor west of Interstate 805.
Downtown Chula Vista Association
The organization now representing the downtown business district is the Downtown Chula Vista Association (DCVA). The former Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA) is being sunset, so older references to the TAVA board, staff and committee structure should not be treated as current.
The DCVA says its Property Based Improvement District covers roughly 16 blocks along the Third Avenue corridor, generally from E Street south toward I Street and between Church Avenue and Landis Avenue. Its Business Improvement District represents more than 200 business members and supports district promotion, events, beautification, public safety and economic development.
