If I Could Do One Thing...

After reading through our aerial tram discussion, I realized that a lot of you have a vision for Tacoma.  Some of the visions are a bit more crazy than others, but who am I to judge…  So my question to you is this:

If you were given free reign to do a single project in town (either public or private), and if money, politics, or physics demographic realities were no object, what would you do to make Tacoma a better place?

Would you knock down I-705 and route the trains underground to reconnect downtown to the waterfront?  Would you build the biggest spire the US has ever seen?  Would you build an Olympic quality soccer stadium?  Maybe you’d open a kick ass dim sum restaurant.  Or do you believe simple ideas like a year round farmer’s market is all we need to kick things in the right direction? 

You get just one project.  What would you do?
