Link to TNT's column on I-705 homeless encampments

For everyone who is tired of seeing all the trash and illegal activity under I-705, there may be some hope of the city taking action soon. This is an issue that I have blogged about before; you can see the previous blog posts by clicking on these links:

• Update on the trash situation under I-705
• Urban solution: An under-freeway, off-leash dog park
• A few informational odds and ends

Today, Tacoma News Tribune columnist Matt Driscoll published a column calling further attention to the problem. If you are not familiar with Driscoll, he was recently hired by the TNT to replace longtime local columnist Peter Callaghan. So far, Driscoll seems to get it. His columns are generally on-point, interesting, and seem to nicely balance competing viewpoints on issues of local interest, particularly issues related to development and improvement of various Tacoma neighborhoods.
