Action Mapping Project @ UW Tacoma | City of Tacoma Neighborhood Planning Program

Remember, your voice matters! By participating in this project you're providing information that will be used to improve the livability of your community.

Introduction

The City of Tacoma is planning for the future of McKinley Hill and the Pacific Avenue corridor, and we want to hear from you. Your responses to these questions will help inform where there are opportunities to make improvements in your neighborhood, and how we can preserve what’s important to you.



Who is participating?

People who live, work, and play in McKinley Hill and South End neighborhoods, as well as students in middle and high schools in South and East Tacoma, are sharing their feedback through this community mapping project. Later this spring, we will hold focus group workshops to learn more about the answers to this survey.
