What's Happening to the Power Towers along North 21st Street

Update: Feb. 11, 2020

As part of this project, TPU is required to plant trees in compliance with the zoning code.

Public Works and the City’s urban forestry program located trees in compliance with the standards for intersection and stopping site distance. This work ensures the new trees don’t block sight lines, are sufficiently set back from the roadway, and are not in the way of future road improvements. View photos of Tacoma Power crews planting trees below.
