TACOMA: Neighbors grateful for changes
BOB O’NEAL; Tacoma
So, drivers are “irked” that traffic on North 21st is being calmed? (TNT, 8-10).
North 21st used to be only two lanes through our once quiet neighborhood. Some time ago it was changed to four lanes from Alder to Proctor, causing higher speeds, loud road noise, cars passing, more accidents and great difficulty for pedestrians to cross the four lanes. Owners could not park in front of their own homes. It became a dangerous nuisance.
The City of Tacoma is now solving this problem on North 21st, and we are very grateful.
