Association Board Seeking Input on Speed Hump Placement in Salishan

The Association Board has chosen a contractor, AA Asphalting, to install the first round of speed humps in the community! The work is scheduled to be completed in the Spring of 2012. We want your input on where you think these humps would best be placed within Salishan! Do you know of an area within Salishan that would benefit from having the cars slowed down a bit?  The speed hump placement will be a "Hot Topic" at our next (March) Assocaiton Board meeting - please come and show us where YOU would like to see speed humps installed!

March 15, 2012 -  5:30pm at the International Place Apartments on East 44th St. -  in Salishan.

We hope to see you there!

PROPOSED CUTS TO BUS SERVICE IN SALISHAN

Pierce Transit is facing big cuts – as much as 35%. They have been handing out pamphlets to riders all week to keep them informed. For detailed route info check out page 16 of this link to see how it directly affects us in Salishan: http://www.piercetransit.org/pdfs/Reduction_Booklet.pdf

Additionally, http://www.piercetransit.org/  has info on the current emergency service levels due to the Compressed Natural Gas incident.

In brief, the proposed reductions are that Route 41 will no longer serve the Salishan loop or Roosevelt between 32nd & 44th. Route 54 will continue to serve Roosevelt, but will not pick up the Salishan loop.  

PLEASE COME OUT AND ATTEND THE HEARING ON APRIL 21ST!!  WE NEED YOU TO HELP SALISHAN'S VOICE BE HEARD.

Vandalized Bus Shelters Replaced! March 2011

The vandalized bus shelters on 40th and Salishan Blvd have been replaced thanks to Pierce Transit who graciously offered to pay for all of the panels and the art to be replaced after the shelters were vandalized! It is especially wonderful because Pierce Transit is in a budget freeze that doesnt allow them to replace shelter glass anymore after it is broken (thats why you see so many shelters around Tacoma that have no glass in them) So we would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to Gene McPhereson and the rest of the team at Pierce Transit for giving us our beautiful shelters back!! Community collaboration at its best!
