Council To Vote On Complete Streets Resolution

SRTC has been working with a group of area jurisdictions, social service agencies, concerned citizens, etc. to educate people about complete streets and whether they're right for our area.

Your help is needed to spread the word about this. On Monday, April 5, a complete streets resolution goes up for a vote in front of the Spokane City Council, and we need people to be there to speak in favor of complete streets.

Councilperson Jon Snyder supports the development of a Complete Streets Ordinance as a component of the City’s street standards.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Spokane City Hall, 808 W. Spokane Falls Boulevard.

I had too much to say about this for a comment, so I wrote a blog piece of my own: http://bit.ly/dxD8aq

Thanks Barb! When you put it like that, it makes perfect sense. I'm very curious to see what happens tonight.
