University District Bridge Public Open House Tomorrow

It's been a lively topic of debate lately so the City of Spokane is seeking input on the proposed University District Bridge through an open house to be held this week.

The meeting is Thursday, May 22 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the WSU Spokane South Camputs Facility, room 100 at 412 E. Spokane Falls Boulevard. At this open house, staff will provide a progress update, answer questions and take input.

The University District is targeted for new and re-development growth.  The vision is to see the southern area of the district developed into a vibrant mixed use area that would provide housing and services for the college campuses to the north and the Medical District on the south.

The BSNF railroad bisects the University District and separates the commercial and multi-use area from the institutional area, breaking up the connectivity between the two. The University District Bridge would span this gap.
