New Bike Racks In International District

Have you been down East Sprague to the 'International District' lately? Well they just got eight new artistic bike racks like this one so you may want to take a ride down there.

Several organizations had a hand in bringing the racks to the neighborhood, including the East Central Neighborhood Council, the East Spokane Business Association, SNAP ,the Spokane Service Team and the City of Spokane.

The racks are custom-designed for safety, durability and aesthetic value. They can be found on either side of Sprague, between the Checkerboard Tavern to the west and Northwest Seed & Pet to the east.

The addition of bike racks is part of an effort at community revitalization, and making the area more bike friendly, in the International District.
