thrice all american: Sixth Avenue Streetscape Community Workshop

Sixth Avenue Streetscape Community Workshop

· Posted Thursday August 16, 2007 by jamie

I wanted to put out some word about an upcoming “streetscape design workshop” for the Sixth Avenue mixed-use center zone. The invitation was addressed to Sixth Avenue business and property owners, so it seems appropriate to post to a larger audience. This affects a myriad of design choices for the area, including green space and public art, so I believe it is important that as many interested parties as possible attend (especially given the crappy scheduling at a time when business owners may be able to attend, but most residents cannot).

From the City’s Community and Economic Development Department:

The City of Tacoma Community and Economic Development Department will be hosting a Community Workshop to discuss future streetscape design guidelines in the 6th Avenue Mixed-Use Center zone (between Sprague and Alder Streets).

Please join us as the urban planning firm of AHBL leads a discussion about streetscape design and community vision for 6th Avenue. This is your chance to provide input on topics such as signage, street trees, sustainable design, and public art.

The final document—Streetscape Funding Guidelines for 6th Avenue—will be used by City Staff to guide and prioritize streetscape projects in the future.

When: Wednesday, August 22, 2007
Time: 2:30-4:30pm
Location: Upstairs at Masa (2811 Sixth Ave)

Note: The art garbage can pictured above? Yup, that’s the one that went missing after Art on the Ave. If you have any information regarding its whereabouts, please contact Claudia Riedener, ixia(at)harbornet(dot)com.
