Oct. 16, 2009 at 10:17am State approves money to install Tacoma Dome trestle fencingThe Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved $20,000 in Grade Crossing Protection Funds to Tacoma Rail to install fencing and gates under the Freight House Square Bridge spanning the area between East L and East G streets near the Tacoma Dome. The fence is needed since transients frequently loiter and dump garbage beneath the railroad trestle posing security risks and safety hazards. In 2007, a fire under the trestle caused damage to the pilings. Installing fencing and gates beneath the railroad trestle is supposed to prevent trespassers from accessing the area and increase safety for trains that are traveling on the railroad tracks above.
