Neighborhood Council Districts are citizen groups based in each of eight neighborhoods which actively participate in shaping the future of Tacoma. The City Council created the councils to broaden citizen input and to give greater representation in city government. The Community Council is composed of the chairs of each Neighborhood Council. In 1992, the City Council established Tacoma's eight Neighborhood Councils to advise them on issues of local importance and to seek consensus among residents on specific plans of action. The Neighborhood Councils also undertake a wide range of neighborhood improvements in collaboration with staff from the City of Tacoma and other agencies. Map includes meeting time and location for each District.Visit the Neighborhood Council District interactive map application here.More information at Tacoma Neighborhood Council Program.Map last updated 2/16/2023.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Port of Tacoma, WA . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

Data Background:This layer displays the general areas of capital projects along with associated project data. It is maintained in accordance with section 10.22.160 of the Tacoma Municipal Code: "The Public Works Department may develop a capital projects layer on its GIS mapping system, entitled “Capital Improvement Projects,” where it will identify its capital improvement projects. Once established, all public and private Tacoma Municipal Code (Revised 4/2018) 10-44 City Clerk’s Office utilities and operators of any communications or cable system shall identify and update their capital projects on the Capital Improvement Projects map, in accordance with Local Law. The Public Works Department, all utilities, and all communications or cable system operators are responsible for updating their capital improvement projects on no less than a calendar quarterly basis."Public Works project data is updated monthly by project managers.

For dataset integrity purposes, these projects are mapped as a polygon encompassing the city limits of Tacoma and given a value of "No" in the field "cipstatus". Selecting individual features is difficult if these features are not hidden, transparent, or drawn first. To improve functionality while viewing mapped features, the above symbology and drawing order is recommended. Depending on your use case, you might also simply choose to filter out features with a "cipstatus" value of "No".Unique Fields: projname Official project title used in documentation

current_phase Capital projects typically progress through some or all of the following phases in order:Unfunded: Bringing a construction idea to life requires funds. Projects marked as "Unfunded" are in the process of securing funding and approval. They are not considered active yet.Planning: The project has confirmed some or all funding, and a plan needs to be made to get it moving. The Planning phase involves gathering people and resources to map out the project's future.Design: If not already fully funded by this point, the project has at least enough funding to be completely designed. An engineering team decides how the work should be done and what the final result must include.Right-of-Way (ROW): At this stage, the project team secures the project area for construction. They find potential legal issues and solve them with things like securing permits, making negotiations, or notifying property owners/businesses.Ad-Award: Project plans are advertised so potential contractors can bid on performing the work. The City awards the project contract based on cost estimates and guidelines such as equity in contracting.Construction: The project is fully funded. The City's construction team and any contractors collaborate to perform and inspect the work.Closeout: After construction is substantially complete, documentation and finances are squared away.Complete: All processes to perform the work have been completed. The project is no longer active.Work might also be paused during any phase due to unforeseen issues. This marks the project phase as On Hold.

construction_start Month and Year in which construction is estimated to start. Projects in early phases may not have this estimate ready.

construction_end Month and Year in which construction is estimated to be completed. Projects in early phases may not have this estimate ready.

citywide Some projects do not have precise mapped locations and are given the value "citywide". This is most often because the project is actually an ongoing project fund that continuously affects many locations every year (example: Unfit/Unsafe Sidewalk Program) or because the project's goal is to conduct a study to determine future work locations.

Boundaries for Councilmanic (City Council District), Neighborhood Council Districts, Neighborhood Business Districts, and Mixed Use Centers.Councilmanic (City Council District): The Tacoma City Council is comprised of the Mayor and eight Council Members. Five of the Council Members are elected from each of the city's five councilmanic districts. The Mayor and three additional Council Members are elected to city-wide, or at-large, positions. On Nov. 15, 2011, the Tacoma City Council adopted new boundaries for the districts, ensuring each district has nearly equal population without splitting neighborhoods or communities. Boundaries are effective 2012 through 2021.Neighborhood Council Districts: Citizen groups based in each of 8 neighborhoods which actively participate in shaping the future of Tacoma. The City Council created the councils to broaden citizen input and to give greater representation in city government. The Community Council is composed of the chairs of each Neighborhood Council.Neighborhood Business District Program: Commercial shopping areas adjacent to single- and multi-family neighborhoods. They are the core portions of the 15 Neighborhood Business Districts. Neighborhood Business District Program boundaries may differ from individual business district association boundaries due to association interests and membership goals.Mixed-Use Centers: Primary focus areas for mixed-use development. The Mixed-Use Centers goal is to achieve concentrated centers of development with appropriate transportation linkages that promote a balanced pattern of growth and development, reduce sprawl, foster economies in the provision of public utilities and services, and yield energy savings.
