Council Approves Sidewalk Construction Projects

Spokane's City Council Tuesday confirmed that funds set aside for sidewalk maintenance won't be diverted for street repairs.

There was some question that the new members of the Council might repeal the $20 vehicle tab tax passed last year, or at the very least, redirect the sidewalk money to street projects.

The Council last night set the record straight though, and approved three sidewalk construction projects using that money. Here's which projects were approved.

Good picks, they do need sidewalks near the schools, so maybe they will eventually get them south of Whitman.

I was just glad to see they were keeping the funding coming for the sidewalks. Baby steps (I know, bad pun) but we have to start somewhere.
