Channel 253 is partnering with Downtown on the Go as a media sponsor of DOTG’s Friday Forums. We think that the topic is a good fit with our Crossing Division podcasts, so we will record the Friday Forum and then record an episode of Crossing Division that follows up or expands on the issues in the Forum.
For February 2020 the Friday Forum topic was Moving Into the Future. Learn about the transportation and access needs of our aging residents, how well-maintained sidewalks and parking near destinations help make Tacoma navigable for everyone. You will also learn about Tacoma’s efforts to become certified as an AARP Age Friendly City. And here’s a great tip for thinking about all of these age friendly topics: It’s really about a people friendly community, because what an 8 year old needs to thrive is exactly what an 80 year old needs to thrive.
Panelists:
- Lillian Hunter, City of Tacoma Councilmember
- Garrit Nyland, Catholic Community Services
- Carol Kachadoorian, Toole Design
- Tanisha Jumper, City of Tacoma (Moderator)
Listen to the forum, and then cruise over to the Crossing Division podcast “Let’s Talk About Transit Options in Tacoma Now and in the Future!”
Let us know your thoughts on the Forum and podcast. You can message us @Channel253 and contact podcast host Evelyn Lopez @True_Tacoma or truetacoma@gmail.com.
