The mood was jubilant during the ribbon cutting, but 12-minute peak frequencies fall short of promises.
On Saturday, Tacoma leaders cut the ribbon on the Hilltop extension of Tacoma’s T-Line streetcar, inaugurating service on the long-anticipated and repeatedly delayed project. The 2.4-mile extension will more than double the length of the T Line and allow riders to reach six new stations: S 4th, Stadium District, Tacoma General, 6th Avenue, Hilltop District, and St. Joseph Station.
At the 10am opening ceremony in parking lot of the Tacoma Urban Performing Arts Center (TUPAC), elected officials and community leaders delivered speeches and dancers from TUPAC and NW Sinfonietta performed.
