Informational Forum
Post and Beam vs Berm

There will be an informational forum showing on projector screens the live difference of the berm verses post and beam. You may ask to look at any spot along the train alignment.

Both construction methods will be featured and you'll be able to see what all the concern is about.

The Forum will be held October 5th, 5:00 p.m. at the Best Western Tacoma Dome Hotel. The address is: 2611 East E Street, Tacoma, Washington, 98421. Ample street parking is available in the area at that time of the day.

Please arrive early for a good seat and bring your friends.
There will be different refreshments and cookies served.

  1. Hi there!

    As I understand it, Sound Transit has not replied to you yet whether your designs were accurate and factual - so I'm not sure how you've decided you can determine that they are.

    I called Sound Transit to ask, and they've informed me that, in fact, the images you're showing are *not* accurate and factual.

    I think this post needs an update, and you may want to issue a correction.

    Thanks,
    Ben Schiendelman

  2. The local AIA chapter is involved in this. I would call that professional. Not sure why Capitol Hill needs to chime in. It's got nothing to do with your commute to Redmond, does it?
    Until you proof that ST id doing a decent urban job for Tacoma, you can not be taken seriously.
    Stop playing blog police, it is juvenile.

    I called ST and they know nothing of your call.

  4. Slag - did they tell you whether your images are accurate or factual? It sounds like you're avoiding the issue here.

  5. Ben and Slag, the images very accurate, they may not be perfect but they reflect the over all feel of the berm vs post and beam options. It's my understanding that Sound Transit will be creating some drawing very similar so that the City Council can compare both.
