Washingtoner/10285646

~ Tacoma, Wash. - The City of Tacoma has announced that South 21st Street between Jefferson and Pacific avenues will be closed for six to eight weeks starting around March 26. This closure is necessary for the continuation of Phase II of the Prairie Line Trail Project.

The Prairie Line Trail Project, which began in early 2024, aims to improve Tacoma's active transportation network by connecting the waterfront to downtown through city and regional trails. The Phase II segment of the project is located along Hood Street, between South 21st and South 25th streets.

According to Project Manager Clara Dubow, this phase of the project includes trail construction, sanitary sewer improvements, concrete pavement installation, pavement restoration, and roadway reconstruction. These improvements will not only enhance the city's transportation network but also provide a more enjoyable experience for pedestrians and cyclists.

Dolly Roberson Loop Road, a private road north of South 21st Street, will remain accessible during this time. The City urges community members to stay updated on the project's progress through their website at cityoftacoma.org/capital-projects/PLT2 or by checking portable message signs at Pacific Avenue and Jefferson Avenue for real-time construction updates.

For any questions or concerns regarding the Prairie Line Trail Phase II Project, community members can contact Project Manager Clara Dubow at cdubow@cityoftacoma.org or (253) 208-4161. The City remains committed to keeping residents informed and ensuring a smooth transition during this phase of the project.
