Prairie Line Trail Pacific Avenue-Waterfront Final Design Open House July 17 [cid:image002.jpg@01CF9B65.25D08B20]City of Tacoma staff are finalizing design for the Prairie Line Trail segment that will connect Pacific Avenue to the waterfront and you're invited to learn more at an open house from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 17th at the Tacoma Art Museum, 1701 Pacific Ave. The project, which converts a portion of a former rail corridor into a pedestrian/bicycle trail and linear park through the heart of downtown, reached conceptual design with extensive public participation in 2013. Now that the conceptual ideas have been translated into buildable engineering designs for the Pacific Avenue-Waterfront segment, there are a few changes and the open house is your opportunity to find out what's new or learn about the future trail for the first time. Pending a Burlington Northern Santa Fe land donation, the City will construct this section of trail by summer 2015. It will connect to the University of Washington Tacoma campus tail segment, currently under construction, resulting in two-thirds of the planned trail's completion.
