Name Chosen For NSC Path

In the Fall of 2008 the Washington State Department Of Transportation solicited ideas from the public to name the pedestrian-bike path which runs parallel to the North Spokane Corridor (NSC). This path will connect to neighborhoods along with other trails in the community.

Over 45 potential names were submitted. WSDOT then invited representatives from Tribal, biking, and outdoor groups to choose from those submitted names. The group chose "Children of the Sun" which is the rough translation of the word "Spokane" in the Salish language.
