ment bond measure approved by the citizens of Tacoma in November 2005. The public is invited to participate in a celebration on Weds., May 22 between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Peoples Park.

Tacoma residents, ofďŹ cials reopen Old Town Dock Article By Todd Matthews, Editor Photo Courtesy Metro Parks Tacoma Tacoma residents joined officials with the City of Tacoma and Metro Parks Tacoma May 15 (pictured above) to officially reopen Old Town Dock. The dock, located at 2123 Schuster Parkway and stretching out into Commencement Bay, dates back to 1873 and has been a hub for a variety of activities: a wharf for commercial fishing vessels; a chance to get closer to the water while visiting Tacoma's Old Town neighborhood; a place for emergency services such as the Coast Guard and Tacoma Fire to hold rescue exercises; and a quiet spot to cast rod-and-reel and do some fishing on a sunny afternoon. In July 2008, however, it was closed to the public after the city's public works department deemed it a danger to visitors. The deck was deteriorating and the structure lacked hand rails. The rehabilitation project included replacing deteriorated wooden pilings, structural members, and decking; installing new hand rails, lighting, and fire suppression on the dock; re-aligning the main breakwater float; installing three new finger floats to allow for transient moorage; and making upland improvements that meet Americans with Disability Act requirements. In November 2005, Tacoma voters approved an $84.3 million bond measure to fund a variety of park improvements through 2013, including Old Town Dock.
