Holiday Traffic Flagging Starts Next Friday Downtown

Here's the weekly update of transportation projects from the City of Spokane:

- The project to rehabilitate Market St. from Garland to Francis avenues is moving ahead. The concrete intersection at Queen Ave. and Market St. will be poured over the next week and remaining sidewalks over the next two. The project includes replacing existing curbs and sidewalks and installing pedestrian lighting and trees.

- Curb construction and paving of the Five Mile Rd. project will take place this week. This project includes building a continuous sidewalk on the west side, a bike lane north and shared-use bike lane south on Five Mile Rd. from Austin to Lincoln roads.
