Meet at Oakland Madrona Park, 3114 South Madison Street
Concerned Tacoma citizens will be gathering at Oakland Park for a rally against the Bridge Industrial’s plan to
build a 1.5 million square foot warehouse that will pave 125 acres over Tacoma’s aquifer”. 1,000+ large semi-
trucks (4,000 total vehicles) will be traveling each day to and from the South Tacoma warehouse utilizing SR
16 and the Union Ave. exit, clogging our roads and freeway, and adding huge amounts of pollution to the air
that we breath. There is a critical need for a Health Impact Assessment. bit.ly/tacomawarehouse
