If the application is approved and grant funds are awarded to the City, the money would be used conduct door-to-door canvassing surveys and host organized community meetings to gather information about transportation habits in Tacoma's Hilltop and Lincoln District neighborhoods, according to City staff. The grant would also be used to plan events that encourage pedestrians to use local streets for recreation and active transportation. According to the grant application available online, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department is expected to award grants worth as much as $10,000 to as many as six local organizations.
