Ruston Way Won't Open Til Late April

UPDATE January 17 @ 12:50 pm: Loren Cohen confirmed today that Ruston Way will hopefully open prior to the April 21st date set for the opening event. The run that is scheduled will include both a professional run and a fun run for armatures. The race director has trained others for the Olympics and knows the business well.

Point Ruston announced recently that the new Ruston Way will reopen on April 21, 2012.  Local businesses continue to feel the pain of reduced traffic and express disappointment that the promise for an opening in early 2012 could not happen sooner. Progress continues with new curbs laid along the new alignment this week. A party is planned for the road opening on Saturday, April 21st. There will be a 5K race and fun walk to benefit the YWCA and the Tacoma Waterfront Association.

Work has begun again on the Copperline building. Apartments are under construction now and set to open in early fall. Work will then begin on the condos in the building. Condos are priced between $554,950 and 1.5  million.

The sales center on the ferry will reopen on site this summer along with the first part of the waterfront walkway. The rest of the waterwalk should be open over the fall and winter months. There is hope to break ground on the retail core towards the end of 2012. Tours of the site are available and other sales information from Sales Manager Russ Wickett at (360) 280-5064 or russ@pointruston.com. Point Ruston's January 2012 newsletter is available here.
