Third Thursday for February 15th
It’s Third Thursday again and Artwalk is in full swing tonight. I’m culling through my emails to find some of the events on the calendar. I’m sure I’m forgetting somebody that has sent me an email. I apologize. The bottom line is this – get outside tonight and visit your downtown merchants. Eat out. Go into a new shop. Check out Moroccan Treasures, Fibers Etc, The Art Stop, Leroy Jewelers, Bijan, Over the Moon Cafe, Dame Lola, Ruby Collection, Goldies, Junior Bizarre, or any of the other shops that are open tonight. Go to a museum. This is your city. Make it something special. Here are some of the notable events for you to check out:
Belay Architecture
708 Broadway, Suite 180

We are proud of the work we have been able to accomplish, and we are glad to be expanding to allow for greater opportunties in the years to come.

Any word on when 4th street is going to be finished?

A bit of a tangent here, but I think a worthwhile one.
I’ve been mulling over light rail lately after a recent drive through Rainier Valley recently, and, of course, pending the vote on Tuesday next.
I think that particular route works, perhaps all the more so for what it does for cars – here’s some Pic’s from my blog.

The question for Tacoma is on what sorts of streets would an expansion of link work? Would it perhaps be best to think about the Link route as the speedy arterial way to get through Tacoma, in addition to 705?
Two more questions, on the subject –
Will we see traffic light coordination in Downtown if Eyman’s 985 passes?
If Sound Transit’s Prop. 1 fails, will Pierce County go it alone, under whichever candidate shows us the leadership?

At least some progress is being made.
BTW, I almost forgot about this Tacomic when the Broadway LID initially failed to pass city hall:

I walked the Broadway LID project last night. It’s coming along nicely and I like the personality of the roads and curbs. You can see it won’t be just some straight streets.
Can we hire these guys permanently to just go through downtown one project area after another? Things are looking like they’ll really be nice when those guys are done.
