Centennial Trail Info Now On Your Smart Phone


The group Friends of the Centennial Trail has finished a mapping project that will make it easier for you to navigate the trail. The project included:
 Redesigning the Centennial Trail printed map, available for purchase on the Friends of the Centennial Trail website (www.spokanecentennialtrail.org) or at REI, N. 1125 Monroe Street.
 Launching a new, free Centennial Trail Google map that can be found on the Friend’s website. 
 Updating the Friends of the Centennial Trail website to host the Google map, memberships and ways for the public to support the completion and maintenance of the Centennial Trail.
 Replacing information on the 20 Centennial Trail bulletin boards found along the 37.5 mile span with consistent posters showing the updated map, rules/etiquette/safety, supporting entities, contact information and the website URL to find the Google map.  Posters will be installed by June 30.
 The project was done as a “green” way to help the public use the trail. Because people can use their smart phone or the maps on trail bulletin boards, there is no need for them to print a map. The project was sponsored by Greenstone Homes, Potlatch, REI and Starbucks.
