Tacoma Candidate Transportation and Land-Use Forum

Update: This event is tonight. Join us.

The Puget Sound Regional Council predicts that the City of Tacoma is expected to grow by 127,000 people in the next 30 years. How our city will grow will depend on decision made now and by the leadership we choose in the near future.

On Thursday, October 1st, join the Transportation Choices Coalition, The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber and an exciting group of co-hosting organizations including Exit133 for an evening of lively debate as we talk about transportation and the future of Tacoma with our prospective City Council and Mayoral Candidates.

What will Tacoma’s Transportation system look like in 20 years? Will our streetscape be dotted with streetcars, bike lanes, and working sidewalking next to walkable mixed-use communities? How will we manage our growth in a way that creates vibrant neighborhoods and urban centers? What transportation infrastructure and policies will be needed to keep our city moving and encourage smart development? What is the role of parking policy in the discussion? How will we pay for the transportation and land-use challenges that lie ahead? How will the city integrate its economic development and climate change goals with its land-use and transportation plan?

Do you have any questions for the candidates? If so, join the conversation.
