Is One Area Getting More Street Bond Money?
Seems like there's a disagreement as to where City money is going to fix streets. A letter in the April 26 Spokesman-Review said that south Spokane streets are in much better shape than in north Spokane, so the money must be being spent there. Two letters in today's paper beg to differ though.
Here's one of those letters, and
here's the other.
Here's the City's 10-Year Street Bond map of all projects to be completed. It's small but gives you an idea of where construction will take place or already has.
Check out the map and tell me if you think the streets chosen for reconstruction (chosen with the help of citizen input, by the way) are divvied up equally among the districts or if you have a problem with the roads chosen.
