Public Open House For High Drive Project Thursday

City of Spokane engineers will unveil a revamped plan this week to reconstruct High Drive from 29th to Hatch. The design will be on display at an open house this Thursday from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Jeffereson Elementary School, 123 E. 37th Ave.

Previous plans for High Drive were scrapped due to public criticism that it eliminated too much parking for users of the area's trails and included too many unneeded amenities, such as planting strips and sidewalks on both sides of the road.

The Spokesman-Review has some of the early details on the new design.
