Proctor Neighborhood Plan
The Proctor Neighborhood Plan, adopted by the City Council in February 2024, showcases a community-driven approach to urban development in Tacoma. This comprehensive plan prioritizes pedestrian safety, human-scale design, outdoor community spaces, sustainability, and affordable housing to meet the diverse needs of residents. With over 700 community votes, key implementation projects were selected, including tree replacement support for the business district and an engaging open streets event series that attracted significant local participation. The successful summer events fostered community connections and were a direct response to feedback received during the planning phase. Ongoing implementation efforts are set for 2024 and beyond, ensuring that the voices of residents continue to shape the neighborhood's future.
The full Proctor Neighborhood Plan and its executive summary are available online, inviting further public engagement. Residents are encouraged to stay involved and track progress through the city's dedicated online platform. This initiative highlights the importance of collaborative planning in creating vibrant, inclusive neighborhoods.
