South DT Neighborhood Cleanup April 28th
There will be a neighborhood cleanup this Saturday in the south downtown area above G Street. Here’s your opportunity to meet some neighbors, get outside, and do some good for the community. Plus, it’s a chance to see all the new condos, townhouses, and the empty lots where apartments will be soon while lending a hand.
This neighborhood is changing rapidly.
Sponsors include Home Depot, Better Properties Real Estate, 1902 Condos, Rosewood Cafe, KUBE 93 FM, and the Hilltop Action Coalition.
Even if you don’t live in the area, join several avid Exti133 readers and go for it.

Where
Meet at 1902 South Yakima

It is pretty normal for Tacoma to be mentioned in articles about cities looking into building streetcars/light rail.
A Andrew Becherer August 14, 2008
If Central Link and Tacoma Link are ever united into one system we can debate the streetcar vs. light rail terms. Until then our “1.6 mile light rail/trolley line” is effectively a streetcar (like the SLUT). Tacoma does share the right of way with automobiles for a not insignificant portion of the line.

It’s all politics. ST, being a regional transit authority, can’t invest money into streetcars, since they’re only local circulators. So they had to call Tacoma Link light rail, except… if we look at ST2 Sound Transit is funding Seattle’s First Hill streetcar.
Go figure.

Hey, be nice! Tacoma had a street car before Seattle – we are inspirational. We just need to expand our system. Talk to your council-member!

We have an opportunity to expand the existing LINK rail this November… if we can help ST come up with a compelling vision – and fast! As it stands now, simply stating “will provide matching funds to expand LINK” doesn’t quite get us there, in my opinion.
