A soon-to-start construction project on South Tacoma Way will bring significant roadway upgrades to the city’s northern commercial corridor. On Feb. 28, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland joined Lakewood Mayor Jason Whalen, Deputy Mayor Mary Moss, members of the Lakewood City Council, Lakewood Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Linda Smith, and local business and property owner Jae Han for a groundbreaking ceremony on South Tacoma Way near the B&I shopping center. Shovels dug in and were filled with the first turnover of ground to ceremoniously initiate the project that will complete the sidewalk connection down both sides of South Tacoma Way from the city’s northern boundary with Tacoma to 88 th  Street.

Regardless of what may be going on in DC, we are making sure we work with local cities to deliver projects like the South Tacoma Way Improvements for residents.” Whalen expressed gratitude for Strickland’s continued commitment to the South Sound and specifically her support for the City of Lakewood. “We look forward to celebrating its completion with the Congresswoman in the near future,” he said.
