Bikes, Pedestrians and Trails Are All In the News This Week

A Spokane City Councilmember is proposing an ordinance to force the city to make pedestrian crossings a priority. A national survey of alcohol or drug use by drivers was in Spokane last week to establish a base line as the state begins allowing legal sale and use of marijuana. Coeur d'Alene installs bike parking "corrals" downtown. And the Friends of the Centennial Trail group received a grant to pay for signs along the trail.
The Spokesman-Review's "Getting There" column rounds up all the local transportation happenings for this week.
