Tacoma traffic sucks. The street projects along Stadium Way, Schuster Parkway and Pacific Avenue have forced people leave earlier to deal with the jams, or move closer to their offices. Others speed, run red lights, curse their fellow drivers or silently stew, bringing on early heart trouble. You need to
