Summer Parkways Getting Lots Of Press

The word is really getting out about the upcoming event Spokane Summer Parkways. I've been seeing advertising all over town, and today there's this article in the Inlander.

For those of you who skip the article, Spokane Summer Parkways is a block party of sorts that encourages people to get out of their cars and do something active. This Sunday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Howard Street will be closed to automobile traffic from Riverfront Park to Corbin Park so that people on bikes, skates, feet, skateboards, etc. can take over.

There will also be physical fitness activities like yoga, Zumba, Hula Hoops, jump rope, hacky sack, and martial arts offered free along the course to encourage a healthy lifestyle for everyone.

I'll be there talking to people about SRTC's SRTC's Transportation Vision Project also. I know, that's a SURE way to get you there.
