OverviewPrairie Line Trail Rendering

This project will complete an important link in Tacoma’s non-motorized system, connecting the waterfront to downtown with multiple city and regional trails.  Traversing the steep hills of Tacoma is a challenge – the gentle grade of this former rail corridor provides an easier walking and cycling alternative.  Construction of this multi-use path includes wayfinding, lighting, stormwater improvements, landscaping, public art, and amenities.  The first phase of the project is located along the former BNSF rail line running between South 15th Street and Dock Street.
