The Southgate Neighborhood Council voted this week to call off their legal battle to prevent bix box development along Regal Street. While some people I have spoken to recently say the south hill needs its' own businesses so that south Spokane residents don't spend their money in the Valley, others are worried that this development will cause Regal Street to fail, as it won't be able to handle the increase in traffic.
Here's more on this story. I don't drive up there very often, but I do know it's a pain to get to the Shopko if heading south on Regal, and you tie up traffic behind you. So what's your opinion on this, does the need outweigh the inconvenience?
Want to know what transportation projects are proposed for Spokane County, what your alternatives are to driving alone, and how to find out about local road closures or backups caused by accidents and other incidents? This blog is designed to educate the public on all transportation-related issues in Spokane County.
