Public Meeting On Liberty Lake Parking

There's a public hearing tonight to discuss parking on Liberty Lake streets. Not streets within the City of Liberty Lake, but the streets around the lake. Those roads are extremely narrow and people parking along them often clog up traffic and make it hard for emergency vehicles to get through.

Spokane County Commissioners have had a request from the Spokane Valley Fire Department to restrict parking on several streets near the lake.The Fire Department even has a really nice slide show on their website showing which streets would be affected and demonstrating just how tight conditions are in those areas.

Take a look, and if you'd like to voice your opinion on the issue, the meeting is at 5:30 p.m. at the Spokane County Public Works Building at 1026 W. Broadway Ave. in the lower level hearing room.
