WSDOT Asking For Your Freeway Fix Ideas

A reminder that the Washington State Department of Transportation is hosting an open house this evening to get your ideas on how to improve Interstate 90 in East Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake.

The open house is 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Hope Lutheran Church, 17909 E. Broadway Ave. Potential freeway designs will be presented that could help commuters and freight haulers get where they need to go more conveniently. Some of the suggested possible changes include added lanes and more efficient on- and off-ramp locations between Barker and Harvard roads.

There is no formal presentation planned, so drop by anytime during the meeting. If you can't make it, no problem, you have until May 15 to submit comments. Here's a link to the WSDOT web page on this. It's got more information and contact info.
