WP-SIA Transportation Study Report Ready For Review

I know you've all been waiting for this and it's finally here! That's right, after over a year of study, the draft report for the West Plains-Spokane International Airport (WP-SIA) Transportation Study is now available for review and comment!

The study was conducted in response to continued development of the airport business park, land use changes at the airport, and the effect those changes will have on the Geiger interchange and surrounding roadway network.

The report includes recommendations for public transit, bike and pedestrian safety and roadway improvements within the study area. You can view it, and find out how to submit comments, by clicking here.

You can also mail comments to SRTC, 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310, Spokane, WA 99201 if you prefer. All comments must be submitted by April 27.
