Local Centennial Trail Priorities For 2015

The Friends of the Centennial Trail group has determined their priorities for 2015, including:

  • Finalize a gap completion plan for Argonne Road.
  • Advocate for funding and construction plans for the Mission Street gap completion Phases 2 and 3.
  • Create a plan to replace the deck surface and repaint the Don Kardong Bridge.
  • Create a long-term solution for the Trail gap from Boone to TJ Meenach Bridge that provides Class 1 roadway separation.
  • Support the Centennial Trail extension construction from Sontag Park to Lake Spokane through $20,000 in matching funds from our Trail Builder's Fund. 
  • Plan, design, produce and install new and improved directional and safety signs on the Centennial Trail.
  • Keep printed and digital maps and Trail posters updated as gaps are completed. 
  • Film a bike riding experience of the length of the Centennial Trail, post in on YouTube and link it to the FCT website.
  • Create a Centennial Trail impact study, where users and types of usage are counted each spring, summer and fall.
