Maple & Ash Street To Reopen Sunday

It's been a long time, but Maple and Ash Streets will reopen to traffic this Sunday, Sept. 7!

Work on Maple and Ash streets, a $4.2 million project funded by the 10-Year Street Bond, federal sources and Spokane Transit Authority, began in April. This project rehabilitated Maple and Ash streets from Broadway Ave. to Northwest Blvd. and paved the intersections of Maple and Ash streets at Northwest Blvd. and Boone Ave. with concrete. The project also included the installation of a fiber optic communications system (ITS), including new cables for traffic signals and cameras.

There will be a grand opening celebration next Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. in the parking lot located on the corner of Ash St. and Boone Ave. Join Spokane Mayor Mary Verner to recognize the completion of the largest 10-Year Street Bond project in 2008.
