Prairie Line Trail - Phase 2

This project will complete an important link in Tacoma’s non-motorized system, connecting the waterfront to downtown with multiple city and regional trails. Traversing the steep hills of Tacoma is a challenge – the gentle grade of this former rail corridor provides an easier walking and cycling alternative. Construction of this multi-use path includes wayfinding, lighting, stormwater improvements, landscaping, public art, and amenities. The second phase of the project is located along the former BNSF rail line running between South 21st Street and South 25th Street.

Prairie Line Trail - Phase 2

Puyallup Avenue Corridor Improvement

This project will enhance the multimodal transportation experience for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, transit riders, and freight operators along Puyallup Avenue, from South C Street to Portland Avenue, including the Portland Avenue intersection (1.2 mile length). The project scope includes reconstruction of the roadway and installation of complete street elements including bike lanes, sidewalks, curb ramps, bulbouts, crosswalks, signals, lighting, landscaping, bus stops, parking, upgraded utilities, and a shared HOV/transit lane.

 

Puyallup Avenue Corridor Improvements

Rail Crossing Improvements: 6th Avenue and South 19th Street

 Pedestrian rail crossing improvements are planned at both the 6th Avenue and S. 19th Street rail crossings.  Select improvements include upgraded railroad signals, relocated vehicle railroad gates, the installation of new pedestrian railroad gates, sidewalks, curb ramps, pavement replacement, pavement markings/crosswalks, landscaping, signage and fencing.

Revitalizing Tacoma’s Brewery District

This project will construct traffic calming measures along Fawcett Ave, from S 19th St to 6th Ave, consisting of new curb ramps, curb extensions, pedestrian refuge islands, mid-block crossings, a HAWK beacon, and other upgraded crossings. The entire corridor will be repaved and Power, Water, and Sanitary utility work will be completed in conjunction with the project.

Revitalizing Tacoma's Brewery District

St. Helens Avenue Improvements

The project includes construction on St. Helens Avenue, from 6th Avenue to North 1st Street, including the intersection of 6th Avenue, but not the intersection of Division. Improvements will consist of a simple 2.5-inch grind and overlay from curb face to curb face. Twenty-four (24) feet of glass grid paving fabric will be installed in the driving lanes. New curb ramps will be constructed where required. No utility work is planned except for minor catch basin adjustments.

Tacoma Spur Stadium Ramps

The project will provide an enhanced driving surface on the Northbound and Southbound ramps to/from Interstate 705 and the Tacoma downtown area.

Water Flume Line Trail - Phase 3

Phase 3 is the final remaining phase of the Water Flume Line Trail that needs to be constructed.  Phases 1, 2, and 4 are complete and open to the public.  Phase 3 is located along South Tacoma Way between Pine and South M Street. Community engagement helped determine a design layout to match Phase 4, which is also along South Tacoma Way between M Street and C Street.  Phase 4 was completed in 2017.  The City has been awarded construction funding available in 2023 and 2024 such that this final phase of the trail will be built in two projects.
