Council Votes To Support Transit Resolutions
At last night's Spokane City Council meeting, councilmembers approved two resolutions supporting the Spokane Transit Authority. The first pertained to the downtown STA Plaza and supported the location and its integral part of STA’s past and future operations. The second supported
two possible changes to the proposed Central City Line, including consideration of a more cost-effective electric-induction propulsion technology and the possible extension of the line through the Chief Garry Park Neighborhood to Spokane Community College.
