Description/History:
This petition supports the removal of the fence blocking direct access to Tacoma's Chihuly Bridge of Glass from Pacific Avenue.
The fence significantly impedes access to the Foss Waterway, the Bridge of Glass, poses unnecessary accessibility barriers and is a poor example of urban design. A year ago, the community successfully rallied to stop the construction of a brick wall slated to replace the fence. This wall would have all but entirely blocked the view of the Chihuly Bridge from Pacific Avenue.
Now it's time to finish the job and remove the fence for good to provide direct pedestrian access to the Foss Waterway and the Bridge of Glass which Tacomans have spent millions to build and restore.
