City Sharing North Monroe Project Plans

Construction season is still in full swing for 2016 but we're already thinking about 2018! The City of Spokane is sharing plans for a major project to  improve safety, enhance the streetscape, and reconfigure traffic on North Monroe Street, between Indiana and Cora avenues.

The proposed project would be a "road diet"of narrowing the road down to three lanes with a center turn lane, pedestrian lighting, benches, transit shelters, new sidewalks, street trees, and stormwater components. The project will also include three to four pedestrian islands.

More information on the project, and how you can be involved in it's development, can be found here.
