The City of Spokane is
asking for input from citizens on elements of a project to improve North
Monroe Street that is planned for construction in 2018. The project runs from
a little north of Indiana to Kiernan near the top of the Garland hill.
You can view an
online presentation
about the project and then fill out a survey about the various elements of the
project at the end. Feedback will be
accepted through Monday, Feb.6.
Additionally, a public open
house is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 26, from 4 to 7 p.m. at
Knox Presbyterian Church, 806 W. Knox. More information on the project is found on the City’s web site.
The project includes a street
reconfiguration to two travel lanes with a center turn lane, down from four
tight travel lanes and a narrow center lane. The project will include curb
bumpouts at intersections that reduce pedestrian crossing distances, enhanced
crossings at three locations with flashing yellow beacons, new lighting, and a
climbing lane on the hill. The current tight on-street parking will be widened
for easier use and spaces will be added. Sidewalks will be widened.
