Plan Commission Approves Proposed Changes to Spokane City Master Bike Plan

The Spokane Plan Commission held a hearing on updates to the Master Bike Plan this past Wednesday night according to City Councilmember Jon Snyder's blog, and unanimously approved the updates.

The Master Bike Plan was originally passed by City Council in 2009 and had not been updated since then. In the meantime, new bicycle facilities have been built and new concepts embraced.

Councilmember Snyder brought these revisions to the Commission to ensure the plan accurately reflects past, present and future planning efforts for bicycle facilities. The proposed updates will now go before City Council for approval. To find out more about them, click here.
