REGION GEARS UP TO BUILD EQUITABLE TRANSIT COMMUNITIES
On Thursday I gave welcoming remarks at the
Building Transit, Building Opportunity event at Plaza Roberto Maestas near the Beacon Hill light rail station. We had a great turnout with enthusiastic local government and transit agency representatives, advocates, housing developers and many others from all around the region attending. Mayor Marilyn Strickland gave a fantastic keynote address on Tacoma's experiences with community building, including working to address the complex needs of people who are homeless. This important work to make the most of transit investments and expand opportunity will continue to be front and center as the region begins planning for 2050.
