E. 64th St is an east-west 2-lane arterial in southeast Tacoma which connects residential neighborhoods to commercial corridors and presents a significant safety, equity, and connectivity gap in Tacoma’s transportation network. Phase 1 of the E 64th St project built Tacoma’s first cycle track, complete sidewalks, safer intersections, and a new roadway surface - connecting to Bus Rapid Transit and the future A Street bike boulevard and linking residents to businesses, schools and community destinations. East of McKinley Avenue to Portland Avenue (the subject of this grant), existing conditions deteriorate sharply. See continuation on attached Appendix A, section 'Identify the Community’s Need'.
