The City of Tacoma is launching its Tacoma I-5 Crossings Study and inviting community members to share their experiences. The study will examine the streets, bridges, and underpasses that connect Tacoma’s neighborhoods across I-5 and identify opportunities to improve safety, access, connections, and the experience of traveling through these spaces. For more than 60 years, I-5 has been a major part of Tacoma’s transportation system. Today, people cross I-5 every day to get to work, school, transit, parks, businesses, services, and home.
