Infrastructure and Projects
City of Tacoma Bikeways Map
In 2021, Tacoma’s first protected bike lanes opened on East 64th Street. Upcoming projects will help connect trails, transit, and neighborhoods while improving safety and access and reducing disparities in our transportation system.

What is an open street event?
An Open Street event is a community event that temporarily limits access on certain streets to motor vehicles and opens them to neighbors to move through the street. The goal is to transform streets into public spaces for recreation, social interaction, and healthy activity. This event is open and free to attend for all. This event is not completely shutting down the street to cars and instead will be limiting access to “local access only.” Residents will be able to get to their homes, but through traffic will not be allowed during the event times of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
What other organizations will be there?
This event is supported by multiple community partners including Tacoma on the Go, City of Tacoma, Parks Tacoma, Tacoma South End Neighborhood Council, Trust for Public Lands and more!
