Here, I can tell you how easy it is to get people downtown. (subject to change, this is off the top of my head in less than 2 minutes).
- Get rid of the homeless.
- Get rid of all of the criminal illegal aliens (basically 1 and 3).
- Get rid of the criminals (throw them in jail for a few years minimum).
- Clean the whole damn place and get the needles off the fucking street.
- Increase patrols and arrest people on the spot for their bullshit and actually put them in jail for a minimum of 6 months to a year depending on offence.
- Make public transit safe again. It is not and no one wants to use it (see 1-5).
There. Now anything that is going on wont matter what the fuck it is. People will show up and go down town. Until this is done then most people will NEVER go downtown again (I am on that list). The majority of the people that won't go down town are also the ones that have money to spend downtown.
No wonder you are in a death spiral.
Oh, they are also doing exactly ZERO of any of these things. They are trying to do live music and have more markets to get people to go back. No one wants to get fucking stabbed going to the farmers market you god damn fucking morons.

>As Denver prepares to reopen the 16th Street Mall this summer, the city is planning to spend $1.9 million on attracting people back to the area after nearly three years of construction.
The Denver Downtown Partnership wants to launch a live music series, weekend markets featuring local artisans, a soccer pitch and art installations with the money.
“Downtown revitalization is critical for the entire city and frankly the metro region,” said Councilman Chris Hinds, who represents downtown. “We are the economic engine of the Rocky Mountain region and downtown fuels that engine.”
City Council approved the contract with the nonprofit organization during Monday’s meeting with a 10-3 vote.
