More Francis Avenue Construction Scheduled For 2014

You asked for it and now you're getting it; more improvements on Francis Avenue. I've been hearing forever from people that Francis is in terrible shape and have even heard it referred to as a "goat trail" in the past. Yesterday the City of Spokane sent out word that two additional phases of the Francis Avenue project will begin early next spring, stretching from Crestline to Division.

Construction will include the replacement of a water main from Perry Street to Pittsburg Street. Handicap access will be improved at intersections from Division Street to Crestline Street and new pavement will be laid over the length of the project. Construction is expected to be completed next fall.
