I90 Spokane Valley- Liberty Lake Open House

How would you improve Interstate 90 in East Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake? That's what the Washington State Department of Transportation wants to know. They're asking for suggestions and providing an opportunity to learn about possible design options for the freeway between Barker Road and Harvard Road at an open house.

The open house is 5:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28, at Hope Lutheran Church, 17909 E. Broadway Ave. to present potential designs for this section of I-90. The options aim to help commuters and freight haulers get where they need to go more conveniently with added lanes and more efficient on- and off-ramp locations.

There is no formal presentation planned, so you can drop by anytime during the meeting. Engineering staff will be on hand to answer questions and take comments.

For the love of all things Interstates, please, can we have acceleration / deceleration lanes. Please. I beg you.

Well @Anonymous, I would just say 'yes' but it's not up to me. So instead I'm forwarding your request to the gentleman in charge of the I90 project at WSDOT. Consider your comment submitted.
