Tacoma residents, get ready for a bit of a detour: a slew of streets are slated for closure starting next week. The Residential Street Restoration Program is rolling up its sleeves to tackle maintenance work, which is primed to kick off on Monday. With an end-of-February completion in sight, these repairs are at the mercy of Mother Nature, as inclement weather could toss a wrench into the timeline, as per the City of Tacoma's website.
The streets on the to-close list include North 39th Street from North Verde Street to North Mason Avenue, and moving on, North 41st, 42nd, and 43rd Streets stretching from North Stevens Street to North Mason Avenue. Don't forget North Alki Street, making a run from North Mason Avenue to Madrona Way, and North Mason Avenue itself between North Stevens Street to North 43rd Street. The pavement's set for a facelift, and residents can expect the usual come-and-go of construction crews and equipment, as mentioned on the City's website.
The City of Tacoma's official release lays out the details. But let's face it, in the heart of a Tacoma winter, who's turning down the chance to chat about something other than the weather? Locals itching for info or looking to express their woes about the temporary inconvenience can touch base with the Project Manager, Jeff Maki, at (253) 591-5495.
If you're mapping your morning commute or plotting a way to bypass the construction dance, just a heads up: alterations to these plans ain't outside the realm of possibility. While the city's got their ducks in a row, ready to streamline streets with newfound smoothness, they're clear on one thing – dates could shift quicker than a hilltop breeze. Keep your eyes peeled for updates; the scoreboard might change but the goalpost remains the same – cleaner, crisper roads ahead.
