Meeting To Discuss Complete Streets With Public

So how do you feel about bike lanes, street trees, street lights, raised medians, curb extentions, etc.? If you like them and feel that Spokane streets need more of them, there's a meeting you should attend this week. On Wednesday, a coalition of area agencies and interest groups will host a meeting to teach members of the public about the 'complete streets' concept, hear what they have to say about the current condition of Spokane streets, and talk about what it would take to get complete streets policies implemented in Spokane. The meeting is from 5:30- 7 p.m. on January 13 at the Central YMCA, 930 N. Monroe St.

Here's an article the Spokesman-Review ran on Complete streets.
